Hi fellows and thanks for the reminders. Everything has been done as per my check list. Engine has been started and running while she was out of the car for about 15 minutes and tuned up. all I have to do is a little carb balancing and check my timing again. Also check for leaks. I will take a video and post it.

Delays...Delays...Delays.. I got my black anodized fuel fittings and stainless fuel lines but putting those together is a real chore so I got my buddy at the speed shop to do it for me. I'm ready to start up tomorrow for sure. Look what I received in the mail today..... ::-):
