Fired up NOS MO 302 for the first time!!
 

Fired up my NOS Smokey MO 302 the first time today after 44 years!! It fired first try !!! I need to change the wires and put some points in her tomorrow..although new, the points were all oxidized..we just sanded them up in order to start the motor..and the plug wires are almost brittle from being so dry and old...I will replace tomorrow and fine tune the carb, timing , etc.

I cannot wait for them 7k rpm shifts!!!

A little sad because it is no longer an NOS motor...just another used 67 Z motor!! haha


..Can I post a short video here?? or do I need to post a link to youtube??

Here is another from the exhaust end...soon afterward. Ever since this motor was purchased from the Smokey Yunick Auction, I have only changed the oil, plugs, points, cap and rotor..and I preoiled the motor and had the carb rebuilt. I did take the intake off, just to take a look. It looked so pristine and new so I did not pull the oil pan. Needless to say, I was nervous about starting it after all these years. With just slight adjustments of the dwell, timing and very slight carb adjustment she seems to run great. Cannot wait to get the car together now!!!

The clips are not too long, but hope You enjoy.

I will take a vid when I put the headers on also !! Cannot wait for that !!
