IT RUNS!! Hooray! I finally got all the induction and ignition pieces in place and put "fire in the hole" today. I have been screwing around with the carburetor for a couple of weeks. First, when I hooked up the electric fuel pump I had a virtual "waterfall" of gasoline pouring into the intake. That was last week. Two carburetors later and a change of needle valve & seat assembly I finally got a combination that works. I eyeballed the distributor timing, hotwired it, and "kicked" the starter with a screwdriver. It fired immediately. I didn't keep it running long because I don't have the cooling system hooked up yet, but it won't be long now until I do the "test drive around the neighborhood".
