It runs! it runs! it runs!.. the monster that I have created actually runs. I finally got my engine together, could'nt stand it, had to hear it. So I bolted it up to my tranny, (my chassis is all complete, on wheels, no body) set a battery in place, bolted a voltage reg down through one of the body mounting holes in the pan, wired it all up with a new ignition switch that I had "in stock", used one Smelly's tricks.... ran a hose down in a gas jug sitting on a stool... put a dribble of gas in the carb, turn the key and.... WALA, the sweet sound... not a problem at all. no oil leaks, no gas leaks, smoke rolling off my new headers that I painted with that 1200 degree header paint from auto zone, what a joke. now they look like an old swing set that somebody spilled laquer thinner on. but, if thats all the problems I have, I'll sleep good tonight. I drank an extra beer after the smoke cleared. still gotta get my timing dialed in. may have to adjust the carb some.. I really expected it to be way off. turns out, closer that I thought. I'm just tickled. Ha ! I would post a pic or two.. but I dont know how. Maybe yall could help me a little, I know how to get a pic into the computer, but how do I put it on here?
