Looks great, Dave. The reflector yellow is a surprisingly good complement to the midnight blue.
Hmm more bad news....my pal had my compression tester so I didn't do it before I put the 400 engine in the frame.....did it today and found 150 on right cyl.....75 on left.
Bugger.
Away to work for 3 weeks so have plenty of time to ponder next move......think I will rebuild my 250 engine as I at least have the right carbs for it.
Put some oil like a teaspoon worth down the spark plug hole and do another check. If it goes way up then it's the ring/piston. If it don't change much it is the valves. Did you adjust the valves correctly?
