Launch facility

A year and two months since the engine ran, some more preps done before I can push the button. Carbs are on again, HT (high tension) leads connect the ignition coils to the spark plugs, throttle pot newly calibrated.

Before converting to injection, I want to start the engine on carbs. The tank and fuel pipes have not been tested, neither the pumps. That's why I built this launch facility on a trolley. The switchboard has an ignition switch and a start button, the pump, filter and fuel pressure regulator are from the old installation. Once the engine coolant has been filled, the battery and switchboard get connected to the ECU and starter already installed in the car. This provisional starting solution permits to test if the engine runs and if the new oilpump builds enough pressure, after which I will check all the rest before mounting the throttle bodies.

Cheers.
