Default Re: The Chevy Vega - '74 GT

~ Got the temporary exhaust connected, distributor installed, oil, filter, and zinc additive, plugs, wires, fuel installed. Primed the dry carb and fired it up. Fixed fuel leak, T-stat housing neck sealed up, cleaned the tachometer connections added bulb grease and got the tach working. E-fan came on normally, we let it idle for a half hour with slight revs of the RPM's. Motor has slight cough every now and then...we think tight valves, not covid. Couldn't test the transmission yet until we fill and bleed the hydraulic throw out bearing.
