We have the Lemans running and ready for its new red top. Monday is the appointment for the top installation. The engine started but ran hot and woulddn't idle. Problem was the timing not having enough advance. Once I got it to 10 degrees BTDC, it ran like a champ. The convertible top bows moved slow until the pump was bled and filled per the 63 Body Shop Manual. It has been 3 years of body work, paint, engine overhaul, and assembly, but it is finally getting close to being finished. The Fat Mat insulation, interior, and exhaust system are left to do. Should be able to take it this summer for the first drive since 1990.
