I'll be there Dave.
Progress is pretty good but still plenty to do.

I'm really enjoying watching the progress. That engine is just beautiful. There is something about the look of a carbureted flat six. Just wonderful. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Thanks Luke

I STARTED THE ENGINE TODAY !
The engine has been in for a while but finally today all the elements
come together and I turned the key.
I had lubed the cylinders and cranked it by hand without plugs (the rebuilt
engine has been stored for ten plus years) I then cranked it by starter
until it had oil pressure. Installed the plugs.
Because there were leaks at the carbs I un-plugged the fuel pump and cranked it.
Like it had been running forever it just started and idled !!!
I shut it off. It runs so quiet !
A great milestone. I'm happy.
Now to solve this leak issue.

Thank you all.
When I first ran the fuel pump there was a small leak under the tank.
Turned out to be a leaking NOS fuel filter ! that's a new one to me. Easy fix.
Next, big leaks at the carb inlet banjos and float valve caps.
Again, NOS, OEM parts leaking. After many attempts to make them swell with Marvel
Mystery Oil , gasoline, and patience .....still leaking. WTF ?
OK, select other seals from the Weber box and.....still leaking...but slowing down too.
And finally stopped.
Now it was possible to run it on more than the the contents of the float bowls.
It's so quiet ! stock muffler for now.
Fumigated the whole neighborhood just in time for the worthless football game.
Adjusted the timing, a few laps around the carbs with the syncro meter and
Voila ! Easiest start up in memory.
I then drove it around the street and backed into the driveway just as the loose
shift adjustment said 'enough'
What a great day !!!!!

Careful about not have loose items and small children pulled back into the engine compartment when the cover isn't on.

Nice work!

Congrats! That's a great looking car and clearly a ton of TLC entailed.

I wonder if your fuel pressure may be too high, contributing to leaks? I went to the PMO solid rails long ago cuz the stock banjos did not enthuse me...but they look very non-stock and add $$.
