I will attempt to answer the many questions that have come up. I have not had time to look at the car for the last day or so as life has been super busy.

I am in the process of checking the various grounds on the engine.

I have had the car started and running. Once it is started it runs great. No problems there it is just getting it started. I may have some minimal cold start issues as it seems to take longer to fire when it is cold.

What is frustrating is that it does not always turn over hard, sometimes it will turnover and start just fine.

As far as the timing, I have been setting the timing by the marks on the flywheel, cam pulley, and distributor. Again once it is started it seems to run fine. I completed the top end rebuild in December. I then drove it about 30 miles and parked it until April when I drove it 30 miles back to my house.

Oil- I have 5W30 in it right now, and I live in Minnesota, so ... cold climate yes. Although it is in the 50's right now.

I think that covered the topics. I have not spent much time on it the last few days, may I will have time tomorrow. I have also been dealing with a bad ignition switch so that has also slowed my progress.

Thanks again for the help and advice. I will update again when I know more.
