Yesterday, with some help from my 2 boys, I got my '76 2.0 short block on the engine run stand. I need help setting it up. It's late 2.0, complete, all stock, EFI. I'm looking for any info, any help at all. I've read few dozen threads about engine stands, but most of them deal with yokes, adapters and such. I need help with wiring and actually test running the engine. If local guys can stop by this long weekend and land me a hand, you'd really do me a solid and I'll return the favor. I'll serve beer of your choice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Thanks, Mike Attached image(s)

I am going to try this in a few weeks. 1st question, I understand the wiring to the starter, Can I put a lead from the battery (possibly with a toggle sw) to the + post on the coil to give power to the dizzy? The PO removed the relay board so wiring is a nightmare
