    Will it start????

     



    Well, engine is full of oil, tranny has a gallon of fluid in it, rad is full of anti-freeze---ignition switch is temporarily mounted on a funny little bracket that I bolted to the one rams horn. (Yes, it is far enough out not to burn anything on the switch). I have to stick some plug wires back on, check the firing order one more time, and plug a couple of vacuum ports on the carb. One quart of gasoline is in a gallon can well back from the engine---fire extinguisher is close at hand---. Now I get to see if I put the new timing chain and sprockets on correctly, and if the Felpro one peice pan gasket really works. I never did get an exact position for the timing mark on the harmonic balancer, so will set timing by ear, vacuum gauge, and trust in a higher Power.--this part is always kinda scary---will it go???----we'll find out tomorrow.
