After much ado, and many hours of toil, she fired back up today. So far, no evidence of oil burning, and once I get the timing, the little details taken care of and the bonnet back on her tomorrow, we'll take a little drive.

Didn't want to "overdo" the smiley-thing, ya know!

Actually, there aren't enough bananas to express my relief! This has been pretty much a nightmare, and sure was good to hear it fire up. Now I need to get some miles on it and get the A/C installed and operative before VTR!
 
Oh yeah! And I gotta change this avatar! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif
 
Now THAT's a plan. Sooner the better... put that whole experience in yer mirrors. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

That baby V8 does have a sweet sound!

Mickey, would you mind removing your avatar with the scored sleeve. You are giving me a stomach ache.

Glad you are up and running. Will you be tempted to peak into your cylinders any time soon?
 
My guess is: only if it SMOKES after 500 miles. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif

The avatar's on my "rountoit" list...

No plans to crack any heads to look at cylinders here - I'm not THAT curious!

Got to track down a short in one of the white wires in the front harness today. Always sumpin', ain't it?
 
The wife yesterday: "Are you SURE we're going to able to drive this to Pennsylvania next month?"
