tinkered with the idle and got it around 350ish

slight hesitation on rev up

there is a whining, sounds like the water pump or maybe the generator

Great to se that you are getting closer to have a nicely running newbuild engine, and well documented as always.

What was the main problem you solved, when going from a slow turning engine to first startup?

finally had some time this weekend to get back to putting my 1929 together. I have been engulfed with the AACA Grand Nationals our Region recently hosted. Was a superb show !! working on closing that out and getting focused back on other things.

started to put together the front end. stanchions, headlamp bar, headlamps, etc... basically have to put it all together loosely then line everything up and tighten them down. slow and tedious.

next up was the front bumper and my turn signals  bolting everything together and lining it all up then go back to tighten the bumper bolts down. the left side would jump skip and spin when i tried to torque it, then it hit me, the frame threads were stripped when i got it. so i ended up getting a thread insert (helicoil style) kit. drilled out he threads, screwed in insert, broke off tab, put on bumper, threaded in bolt, and bam like a charm !! worked great, was able to torque it down and not issues.

tested out my signals and they both are working and function correctly.

​​​​​​​wired up the headlamps and tested those out. everything seems to work and look correctly now.

fired up the engine, as it has been sitting for a while, pumped hte accelerator a few times, a little choke, and fired up after a few tries...  warmed up and idled nicely.

decided to tinker with the tail light & stop light, I have an original style on the car 2 bulbs, but also built and LED version using the Lambert LED kit.  So i decided to run a few test on various bulbs, Incandescent & LED to see how they work and how bright they are in my garage. 

then i backed car out of garage, 3 point turned it and backed it back in, so that the headlamps were facing garage door. this gave me a decent surface to tape off and line up the headlamps some and even run a few test on various bulbs, Incandescent & LED

will make separate postings for the test i ran, for those interested.
