I should be ready to start the car in a couple of days, I've spun the engine with a remote starter switch and all sounds good.
Not sure if the new pressure fed come with oil or not, I had some nos ones and ended up using a trigger oiler to prime them, release the grenade pin and about 10 pumps. Then put them in a vise slowly compress, put the pin back in. Install, pull pin and then a few more pumps. I believe the cap and shim mods are still available as well wouldn’t hurt to add them either.
