After a fair amount of indecision I filled the tank and hit the starter. It was almost an anti-climax when the engine burst into life. Do I feel great- you bet, the smile just won't go away.
I could only run it for a few seconds as the steering pump lines aren't finished (that will happen Monday) and I didn't want to destroy the pump with no fluid. The credit really goes to Jim (Sideshow) for the engine loom and control unit.
