My engine is seperated into its major components. (Motor (2056 T4), Mallory Unilite, blue coil, carbs, linkage, low pressure fuel pump, engine tin, alternator). The engine is built. But the mallory is off it, the tin is off, the carbs are off, etc.
I want to put it together, and test run it on Oct 20th before I install it into the car. I know that I am going to need a battery and wire to run the starter, fuel pump, and plugs. I know I need new gaskets when I attach the carbs to the motor. Obviously, I am going to need gas, and new oil. What else do I need? Help me make a checklist. My goal is to put the major components together, pack it in my subaru, and fire it off at the Sterling meet later this month (then put the now-together motor back in my subaru, take it home, and get it in the 914). This is a high quality wire plan for my test harness. Do I need to add anything more? Zach |

Zach - I have this opposite refridgerator light switch (spring loaded - current flows when pushed in) I use to use to start a car I had with ignition switch problems. I'll bring that but here's something you may not be thinking of. The starter switch probably sends current to the starter through a reley. I can't see all that current going directly through an ignition swith. I don't care about my switch, we can blow it up if you want. I also have a toggle I'll bring. We can blow that one up too. I think they were both only rated for a few amps.
