Default First Fire Up!!!!

well, after a long winter of having my motor rebuilt, I finally got it fired up today in the car!

Didn't even pump the gas and with in a half of a second it was running. No adjustments needed!

Only ran it for a few seconds cause I'm still waiting for my lower radiator support cushions (so there is no radiator in it)....2 little pieces of rubber is what is holding me up

but it was nice to here that rumble of my side pipes after almost 6 moths of with drawls!

I love that sound myself. When I first heard mine it was after 10 years of looking at it in a parking lot, and it was awesome. Hope everything works out.
