    It Runs!!!!!

     



    I almost can't believe it, it runs, finally!

    After the break-in I had to get a little video of my model running it up, I can't let her see this.

    Got a few leaks, but nothing too bad once I put my driveshaft yoke in and tightened up my valve covers, and put my rad cap on, and tightened my rad hoses..........I got a big mess to clean up now but I don't even care.
