Initial startup

Oil and antifreeze added, brakes bled and tires back on.

I have a leaking PS control valve. About 3/4 of a cup of oil leaked out over a couple of months in the garage. I kept a pan in place to see how bad it was. Not good. Also, the fluid is not clear but red. Someone likely filled it with automatic trans fluid.

This will be the first system to get at after the driving season is over in November when the first salt appears on our roads.

I put the same amount of PS fluid back into the pump and when I checked the level it was up to the cold level mark.

Now for its first test drive since replacing the starter, wires, heater hoses, pcv valve, breather and valve covers.
