My son did a vid today 4 me,as we got the old gal going. You can also see the folding lugage rack in place on the back,now that completed those brackets too.
My old Ford Y-block motor has been hinding in the corner of garage for many years doing nothing.
Some times they don't like to wake up!
Stuburn but she goes,did not wish too!, We pumped up oil psi before trying to run,.
Had not run at all for 3 years,and then only for 2 min. on the floor on blocks,before that I'm guessing it had not been running for around 30 years +. I'm happy about it now,great oil PSI,45# @ 180*. She'll need the valves adjusted and another carb. yet,if I can find a 4100 in rebuildible shape,don't need choke, also got replace water pump/its leaking some.
Here's the vid;
