Yes, it ran quite smooth and quiet compared to what I was expecting.

Valve adjustment is on the list. I have a little stash of copper fuses.

I have a power bleeder that I borrowed from a friend while doing a 4 wheel brake job on my '79. So I'll flush them this weekend. I also have plenty of power steering fluid on hand, and a new filter to install.

Over on another forum I got advice to 1) "mess" with the Bowden cable, I'll have to look that up 2) adjust all the throttle linkages to spec 3) check fuse on OVP box...to perhaps get the tachometer working 4) adjust the ALDA.

By the way, in the trunk I found the following:
  • A small parts washer, looks to have never been used
  • A car cover
  • A cheap 2 ton baby jack, will be good to put in the Plymouth's trunk for tire changes
  • Some jack stands
  • A few Mahle oil filters
  • A few other odds and ends

I'm looking forward to tinkering this weekend.
