I was trying for today or tomorrow but two issues have come up (actually 3).

1. Engine builder can't come over today or tomorrow for he is dynoing two other motors. Maybe this weekend but we can't do it Sunday for a local cycling club is closing off the streets for a criterium race.

2. I have developed a real bad gas leak where the dual feed line goes into the carb. Think it is a crappy cheapo dual feel line by Mr. Gasket so I have ordered a Holley one which I should get tomorrow from Summit.

Otherwise, I think we're ready. Already cranked the motor over to get lots of oil pressure. Those mini starters are pretty cool. Coolant is in. 5gallons of rocket fuel. All important electrical circuits are working.

3. And this Tuesday they are re-roofing my house so I really have no business touching the car but instead get the garage and attic ready for a massive mess.

I'll keep this post updated.

You put Teflon tape on the threads of the fuel log, right? If you didn't you will NEVER, EVER, EVER stop the leak. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

Check the Holley instructions ... they specifically say to use Teflon tape on those threads.
 
HE STILL HAVEN'T TELL US THAT HE WILL VIDEOTAPE THE FIRST FIRE UP

CRAIG , WITHOUT VIDEO : IT DIDN'T HAPPEN !!!!! DUDE ! :lol
