It Runs!

Today we started the car up, as far as we know it has not been run for 38 years.  Had to clean the points on the fuel pump to get it running, clean points in distributor to get spark, and use ether to get initial running due to jets not dropping for fuel enrichment, ie choke.  But here's video proof:

We also checked compression again after running, dropped to 190 to 210 after running.  We also killed quite a few mosquitoes when it started, lots smoke due to oil in the cylinders which we think had created those extremely high compression readings.  So compression is still high, but believable.

Bled hydraulic system for brakes and clutch, they both appear to be fine.  The engine does seem to "run on" quite a bit, ie diesel, we need to confirm timing before getting too worried about this.

Good progress!  Few more details and we'll have it on the road!
