It runs!!!!

Long story short, bought a 79 back in April, hadn't been started in 6 years, here is how I got it home..........

Now after 5 months of sitting and a few little things done to it (wires, plugs, oil....ect) I couldn't stand it any longer, put in some gas cranked a few times, pumped a few times and VRRRRRUUMMMMM IT STARTED!!

It stayed at 3000 RPM's for a little while then evened off at 1000... head lights work!!!!!! Even the clock works.

Now to get back to them brakes :rolleyes:

Just had to tell you guys, wife just said "good, when can I drive it" :eek:

Congrats. You think that smile on your face will last for days now... just wait till you get to drive it for the first time.... :cheers:

I mean, just wait till your wife gets to drive it. You'll never see it again. :sad:
