Vara mine has been up and running sinse `03, I just trying to ease the anticipation she has, actually it was worse for the wife than me, then after it was running only about 5 miles on it we made a 120 mile run to a show in the mountains, she was really on pins and needles then, all the way there and back no issues, even to this day..

Well When you guys make some video's Don't put a chicken in charge of the camera Like another club hot rod member did! He said he had a short video for us to watch. HE! HE! HE! He didn't make it to second gear and you see the camera change angels and shut off. HE! HE! HE! It was more like a flash or a glimps of a video HA! HA! HA! Very Funny!!!

quick update: got my engine turning over. just had to stop and recharge the battery cause i am using the manual fuel pump to drain the old gas out of the tank. fuel pump is working well but i have a 1/4 tank to drain. i am very happy as i was concerned that the engine would not turn over or the fuel pump would not pump. i am getting there.

you can buy a cheap in line fuel pump and wire that up to pump the fuel out of the tank .cranking a engine for a long time is not to good
you may get oil psi you do not get much oil splash on some parts of the engine that need that to keep them happy the hardest part of a engines life is cranking them ......slow fingers OH well

I check in everyday and some are better than others. I don't think Brent has anything to do with the forum anymore, but I'm not sure. Hopefully as time moves on the forum will get better.
Where is everybody?
