Well checked the oil pressure and its about 50psi at 1600RPM. I cant get it to idle down and dont have any more time to work on it so I loaded it up on the trailer, took it to my parents house and drove it around the block and parked it in the field. Im going to hold onto it for about a year incase I need any parts off it then im going to sell it. Ill have to try to figure out the high idle but the cold weather is hear and I have other projects that need to be worked on. Till next year guys.

47 PSI at about 1600 RPM.


Exhaust glowing red after setting at 1600 RPM for about 3 minutes.

Exhaust glowing red at 1,600RPM and no load is a bad sign.

It might be a bit higher than 1600RPM and it was dark out so it was quite easy to see the exhaust glowing. Seemed to run fine and drove great just wish the idle would have come down.

Foot to the floor under a load and it shouldn't glow like that in one spot. Good thing it'* a parts car.
