Got the bronco running and had some issues, it's in the chat section if your curious. Anyway, smoked the starter and have a pile of shavings in the bell housing. Should I pull the tranny and clean that stuff out or try to vaccuum it out?

Got to run the new motor about 3 minutes total. Should I reprime the oil system before restarting it next weekend?

You got it running, good deal. It's primed now, thats all you need on initial start up. As for the shavings, I would just flush it out and call it good.
P.S. Thats quite a story over on chat. ;)
