Well fellas I did it! With the help of my old man we just got her broke in! Struggled to start, it was really cold here today, but we got it going and it ran like a top. Headers had been glowing so we advanced the timing and fattened up the fuel mix. All y’all’s advice and input here was critical and I thank you all!

well... how'd it drive

did get it on the road, was running it off a gas can (tank is nasty) and hood isn’t on yet. I’m itching to drive it though! Only drove it once and that was limping it on the trailer when I bought it.
