after a two year complete restoration of the front end of my 68 firebird(replaced everything). She roared to life tonight.
primed the oil pump, dropped in dist. and she fired right up. set rpm's at 2000 and ran her for 20 min and shut her down. good oil pressure and no problems to speak of. just a lot of oil and grease burning off exhaust. scared the life out of my brother. tahnk you to all who have answered my questions on the board. I feel great pride in her right now. I am sure you guys know the feeling.

now back to work

thanks

gerry c

Cool....Did you follow NJ state regulations that require you to fire the motor after 10pm with an open exhaust?
