Just finished the bugger.
Fired up 1st go around. Cold as crap outside so them 40 IDF's were spitting and sputtering for awhile. Richened up the idle mixture and ran like a champ. I will let it cool down and re-do the valves. |

First, I would like to thank Joe for agreeing to build this motor for me. He is a true nine-fourteen friend and someone dedicated to preserving the breed. I visited him yesterday, Saturday and helped in a very minor way with putting the motor back together. He wanted to fire the engine up when I was there, but I wasn't able to stay until it happened. Anyway, I flew back to Tampa, from NO, this afternoon, but Joe called this morning and left me a message that the motor was running. I called back and he fired it up again and I was able to hear this motor run for the first time in over 18 months. I now have to the pressure to finish the 'restoration' on the car as I'm plannig to pick the motor up next month. Hopefully by my birthday, in June, I'll be able to have the car running.
Again Joe, thanks... Now for the smiles....
