Got er hooked up, concerned the fuel is too old, the carb needs rebuilt because I got it used (let alone jetted), the brakes need bled as I found when I hit the pedal (hopefully haven't sprung a leak), and currently no power from the ignition.
Starter goes fine, and engine turns over. At least I am circulating oil through the system this way and letting it sit.
My ignition was bad, I replaced it, with a junk one (or blew it out somehow), then replaced it again. Then blew the engine.
Looking to get minimum spark, then I can move on to fuel.

The engine is running well and mostly correctly, I think I might have an issue with the fan. It makes a loud whirring or grind noise once in a while.
It also threw some spray from the rear seal...
going to work on housing adjustments
Weber Progressive 32/36 is working pretty well this is what I currently have for jets:
Primary idle jet 40
Secondary Idle Jet 37.5
Primary Main xxx
Secondary Main xxx
Primary Air 145
Secondary Air 140
I think I am due to get some jets:
Primary Idle Jet 45
Secondary Idle Jet 60
Primary Main 125
Secondary Main 190
Primary Air 160
Secondary Air 180 _________________ 1969 Ghia

After getting the engine going, the starter went out. So I replace it and now I have a voltage leak that is inexplicable.
So... I made the plunge and ordered the complete wiring harness kit.
AND then the brake pedal rusted stiff due to the sunroof (skylight) leaking then pooling by the pedal.
Sooo. I pulled the pedal out and am tearing that apart. I have a question on another thread about that if anyone wants to say anything.

Trying to get rolling so I can take it to the upholstery guy and he can redo my three fold. I sewed my own vinyl one and it was not much better than the original.
Pictures of such on my instagram

I was able to get my pedal assembly back together and painted. I got one of the Airkewled six shooter cable adjusters and am glad I did. The tiny 7mm hex nut on there took me about 4 hours to take off with an open end and box end wrench, and vice grip. I put the spinner on in less than a minute or two.
Now they are back in the car and I have taken it on a tour, it was great, and the brake pedal returns on its own without pulling it up with my foot.
Now back to my electrical leak.
I have a 12v leak at the positive terminal on the battery with the key in the off position. When I test it after pulling one wire at a time off the headlight switch I get 12v with all wires attached. Then 3v with the main red wire from the loom wire pulled, 12v with the switched wire. and another 3v on the other position. _________________ 1969 Ghia

Hello from the time machine. It came with the dash installed. JBugs sells them. _________________ 1969 Ghia

I've been working on cleaning the engine up. I've got a new shroud to install and throttle linkage.
