Initial start up and cam break in period for the rebuilt 318 in my 69 Coronet 4 door 11012019 HD

I have been waiting 8 months for this day, when the rebuilt engine in my 1969 Dodge Coronet 4 door would live again! I thank Dave Moore of: http://precisionmachineserviceaz.com/home/3551522 for the excellent work on rebuilding my 318 ci engine (now 330 ci due to boring), And Tom and Jeff of: https://www.mrautomotiveaz.com/ for removing and replacing the engine, trans, accessories, etc. I was very impressed with the care they took to protect the new paint on the car and the care taken to see that the initial start up was safe and successful! Per the engine builder, the break in process was to use high zinc content oil, and run the engine for 20 minutes at between 1800 and 2200 rpm. About 2 minutes in to the process, a small fuel leak was found up by the carburetor, so the engine was stopped, that issue was addressed and the engine was started and run for another 18 minutes at the proper rpm. I was at work and could not make it to video the initial start up, so Tom had someone video those first few minutes for me. After work, I was able to get there for the last few minutes of the break in period, and I took video from there. The video speaks for itself!
