I'd already planned on getting some video feed from my Ipad tomorrow. Never posted anything to YouTube, but am sure I can figure that out. Afterwards I'll post a link This is all assuming she does what we hope her to do!

Ok Richard and forum members, i've never created a YouTube video but attempted my first today. Two YouTube links are below at end of this message (each about 30 seconds). Let me KNOW if you are able to access and view the video so i know i did it right. Today, Dad and I attempted to fire the motor for the first time and GUESS WHAT--she fired right off the get go! No leaks, cooling looked good, oil pressure there, adjusted fuel pressure, ETC. We let her run up to temp and after about 12 minutes cut her off. Round 1 was a success. Mind you we've not even touched the carb for tuning yet, barely advanced the distributor for initial. Tomorrow we plan to do what we can to get timing in. The cam card has no specs so we're going to base all in at 34. Mechanical springs are set to 21 degrees. With roller cams i've been told you 'dont have to break them in like a flat tappet,' but like a good friend on here told me, you want to 'treat the roller' like the flat tappet on break in so we plan to look into that tmrow. Not to be political, but today was like a person winning Florida and Ohio as a huge first step! Links to video:
