Well, I attempted to start the rotary midget today with no exhaust,
radiator, oil cooler etc, just to see if it would run....
IT DID! I tried to start it and it shot a 6 foot flame vertical from the
block!! after that went out I went and got the fire extuinguisher and tried
again. This time it ran!! (NOT very well, but it ran never the less! I
sold the rebuilt head so I can pay for the driveline, oil cooler lines, and
cooler. Now, if someone would be so kind as to purchase my 1275 ribcase
tranny in good shape (85,000 miles) for $250 including shipping, I could get
the exhaust made and drive the car!!!!
Let me know, I really want this done before it snows!
