Re: Camshafts..

I broke the fitting that screws in the head for the mechanical water temp guage.

I think its 5/8 male npt and 5/8 female compression does that sound righte?

and should I prime the oil system? I dumped the lucas/penzoil in it today

-Set valves
-Drop in dizzy @ #1 compression
-Install carb
-Install the rubber line that splices in the fuel filter (rotten becuase crappy corn gas, its less tan 6 months old!)
-Top off raditator
-Prime oil system
-Fix cracked water temp guage fitting @ block

Thats about it guys...I just need something to prime the oil system with and get the piece I broke!!!

Cant wait to get it sucessfully broken in and driving it
