=EF= =BB=BF=20
I am just about ready to try my first att= empt at starting my renesis.  for my first phase, at least, I've chose= n to use a side draft Weber carb and DIS ignition system, which Lynn design= ed using an MSD ign box for the primaries and 2 Chrysler elec ign's for the= trailing plugs.  I thought I'd ask before introducing gasoline to my = "creation" of any steps or checks I need to do first.  the engine and = mount are bolted to a mockup plywood firewall held up with steel legs. = ; the psru is installed, as well as the radiators [oil & water].  = exhaust is just headers for now [pointing down].  when I crank it over= all the plugs are firing [especially the MSD powered ones, which fire mult= iple times below 1000rpm].  the carb is brand new, with whatever jets = they come with.  haven't designed a leaning capability yet.
1. I need to add a oil pressure gauge rig= ht away.  I'll need water temp after it gets running for any length of= time. put mineral oil in for initial break-in [turrentine engine, never ru= n]
2. oh yeah, get it out of the basement!&n= bsp; guess airport best for making lots of noise
3. fire extinguisher
4. got the 6k rpm limiter plugged in to t= he MSD
5. fill with water
6. fabricate some remote throttle cable? = or do you just stand there and manipulate it by hand?
 
guess I fine tune timing after it is runn= ing with a strobe light?  I've marked the firing points on the flexwhe= el.  the pick-ups can be adjusted some if needed.
I assume I don't need a prop or club at t= his point, right?
thought a small gravity fed fuel tan= k would work at first.
should I buy new plugs?  the used on= es that came with the engine seem to spark OK.  
could I run this early on with the water = pump attached to say a 50 gallon tank of cold water rather than trying to g= et it radiator cooled?
