The start-up went very well, with only a few issues. The fuel pump, shown in the photo to the left, appeared to be new. However, it did not function properly. Fortunately, I had one in stock that had been previously used on an MGB. We installed it and Morris started almost immediately. Tomorrow, we will replace it with a new one and continue the break-in.
The Morris Minor 1000 was not fitted with oil pressure and water temperature gauges. Bill requested that a Smiths combination oil and water gauge be installed in close proximity to the driver's line of sight. I had a new one in stock and we installed it today. It was a bit time consuming, but the end result was certainly worth the effort.
Stay tuned...
