The dirty deed is done! Red
oil pan, blue block and white headers. Color me "Captain Cobra".
Fuel primed, 3 or 4 pumps on the accellerator,
oil pressure pre-primed, all systems GO.
With the "pit crew" holding it's breath, I reached in and turned the key. About a dozen cranks of the starter and no fire of any kind. A hush fell over the crowd...
Bryan, Flip, Mitch, Vince, Ken and his daughter looking on as I stood there and scracthed my head. I KNEW with nothing in a dozen cranks something was wrong. OH,,, try plug in the freakin' distributor power wire, HELLO!
A turn of the key the second time and we were instantly greeted by the healthy blast of open headers as she came to life! OH YEAH, sounded SO sweet, a thing of beauty! 2000 rpm or so followed by high fives. Pictures at 11, I'm exhausted and need to clean up!
Thanks "pit crew", you guys are the greatest!
