It's Alive!

Manual says fuel pressure should be 3.8 psig, measured mine at 4 psig, so fuel pressure is OK. Started the car and let it run for about 15 minutes and noticed that I have some slight sticking of the rear carb piston, so have more jet centering work to do there. But the car ran well, and would rev right up without stumbling at all. When I shut it down there were just a couple of drips of fuel out the drain tubes rather than a dribble. Progress! New jets and needles arrived today so more experimenting tomorrow.
