Been busy, but slowly building up the engine and hooking up everything.
Got most of the to-do list taken care of.
Hope to fire her up for the first time next week. I'll be sure to take a video.
We'll hook a manometer to the oil pressure sender, prime the engine beforehand, and then do a few rotations with the starter without the sparkplugs installed. Then add some gas to the carb and fire her up. Probably take her to 1000 RPM or so for 10 minutes and verify the lifters are rotating.

The carb fuel line is a temporary addition. It came with the carb and is easy for testing.
