It happens all the time; if they don't fire right away it seems to drag the battery right down.

If the car wasn't so nice and I hadn't paid full price, that drive train would come out in a heartbeat and a small block Chevy would go in.

Funny part is I have a 39 Ford Coupe with a 283 bored out to 301 4speed 57 Chevy rear end that I've had since 1968 and it's just sitting in the garage. I have drug that car for two home moves and it still is waiting its turn to run again.

If there were a twelve-step program for car-oholics I would be a chartered member.
