Had a good day.
Engine sounds pretty healthy.
Still lots to do though to make the race. ::)

Gotta love it when it fires that fast! It really pays when you set the timing correctly BEFORE the engine is fired. It sounded good for the short time it ran.

So....this is Howie doing the Happy Dance, with good reason too. Sure sounded sweet.

I turned on the subtitles to help figure out what you were saying, but somethings get lost in translation.

Glad to know I'm not the only one that has to re-learn what some of the switches are for.

Thanks Guys.
Engine's running great! 80 psi on the goo gauge cold. Sounds really strong at 14* initial.
Ran it with open valve covers ( tops cut out) and rockers are looking good with good oiling.
Should probably put some kind of label on the switch's. ::)
Work continues.
