Made some great progress on Herbie this morning!
I stared by changing the hoses.
I’d say the old ones were well past the use by date!
Added some antifreeze and gave everything a once over and started it up.
I decided to hook up the dwell meter to monitor.
RPM and points dwell are right on the money!
stayed between 500 and 600 RPM with a dwell of 25 degrees.
I ran the truck for about an hour at low and high idle checking the engine with a temperature gun. I’ll be the gauge in the truck works and reads the same as my gun!
The engine came up to about 160 degrees F and stayed there! I can see water moving in the radiator. It appears the the generator is working too, although I need to learn more about how this system works. I turned on the lights, blinkers, and heater to put a load on the system. I watched with my meter on the battery and saw the voltage drop to 11 volts, then go up to 13 bolts and finally hold at 12. Not sure if this is how the charging system is supposed to work or not but the battery stayed up.
The engine hummed along just fine , the only issue I saw was a small leak at the oil pump that will need some attention at some point.
I was so happy with the results I polished the chrome and went for a spin!
It was just up and down the driveway a couple of time but I’m counting it as the first drive!
finds me drooling over someone else's stuff... 
Not really unexpected given the looks of the cylinder and pump, just something else to look at!
