How to Time your New Engine, and it Start Instantly! #smallblock #mopar #engine #howto #classic

Many have built or assembled their engines and are unsure on how to start them for the first time. Quickly starting your engine for the first time is important, especially in todays world of flattened camshafts. I made this video because it is one of the most asked engine questions I get. For more information on ignition timing check out @318willrun and @talljohnsfunshop2722 .

Nice job, Joe. Been doing that for 40 years. Dang, now my secret is out. I don't have the time for a YouTube channel, let alone know how ! It's good that you are showing this to new up and comers. That way they can save a lot of time and head scratching.

joe i have done it this way for many years and it has never failed me the only thing i do different is to take the number one plug out and put the wire back on it then turn the key to the on position and move the dist. back and forth a little to make sure it sparks.this never fails me

You gotta love that all original 1 of a kind, Barney fender cover mat👍

I also do it the way Paul little does it in your comment section it works great. I am amazed to see how many people on YouTube don't do this at all and have backfires and all kinds of crazy stuff when it's not necessary at all

[garryhatchett]

I like to stay with the factory index of the distributor/oil pump drive orientation. It simplifies wire position and any diagnosis if problems arise later. Sounds good Joe. What mufflers?

[mikestackhouse]

I just love that '65 Coronet Joe, especially in Red. The small block fits like a glove and your timing adjustment method is cool. Can't wait until you can take her out and stretch her legs. I always had names for my cars. I'm pickin' Roxanne for this one!
