Brief Description:  Pick Up Engine and Run on Dyno at WW

On Feb 19, I went to the Hangar at WW's to look over the engine since I was on my way to NC. Figure 1 is how it looked then. When I returned on March 13, William was finishing up the installation of the distributor and pre-oiling the case by hand turning the prop for a good 20 minutes while having a drill rotate the distributor gear (I think). Once it was all fitted to the dynamometer, it was rolled out of the hangar, attached to the pickup and started. It turned over three times and coughed. Next time it turned over 2 times and sprang to life. What a feeling to watch the engine that was just pieces of metal in your garage turn into an incredibly smooth and precise form of power! My thanks to William and his able partners (Kevin and Gus) for their time, expertise and patience for all my dumb questions. Now all I need to do is lose 50 lbs!
