It started, stopped, shifted and turned. Smokes a bunch, exhaust rattles like crazy, but I don't care right now. When I purchased the car I wasn't even sure if the motor was ok. Now all I gotta do is get the interior finished before Norwalk. I owe many people on this site a great big THANKS, for all of the help with this car!

Ron, very nice job. One note, look for a factory style oil fill breather cap. I see the oil on your valve cover. That is because most of the new replacement caps do not have the tube on the inside of the cap. The factory cap has a tube that goes up a little over 1/4 inch inside the cap. That stops the oil from splashing up inside the cap, then running out of the breather holes.
