63 FI engine finally running for first time

[John D.]

Today is a banner day for my '63 FI car. Just a note to tell all of you that I have been driving crazy with all the dumb qts. Engine started for first time this morning and runs perfect.
Used the Shell Rotella Oil with the GM EOS. I was run for 30 minutes at high RPM and then all drained and fresh diesel oil put back in.

Engine started with two revolutions. Dave Cardina said he and buddies were shocked that it started so easy. Shoot the cannon. Thanks for the help, John
P.S. Now we won't have to push car on and off trailer at Boston tea party coming soon. Now no more bad dreams about damn thing not starting.

congrats John! see ya in Boston.. *NM*

John--who did you have rebuild the FI unit that it started right away like that? (Couldn't resist!) Glad to hear it's running well--got the 57 fuelie going again after two years, (Replaced the broken motor) and it's a good feeling.
