Sounds like you're do'in GREAT Asa!! Sure wish I was closer to you so I could lend a hand like I was able to do with "Burnout Bud" so he could play in Arnold this year. He & I are threatening to trip down to Nashville after the first of next year if Godfather Frankie doesn't have his car ON THE ROAD by then & haul it back to Buds' where WE can finish it for him!!! At the rate you're going it sounds like you'll have adequate time to road test your car & fix any small bugs that might pop up so you'll be ready to join the party in Nevada. Keep up the good work.......all of us in the Central Division of TPR are pulling for you!! :o))

Well I got a few more things off the list from earlier today.  Now, for
tomorrow:

- Pick up new carb to manifold gasket (doh! never thought of that until
tonight when I went to bolt it on)
- Pick up spare alternator belt (I'm using old spare, which is brand new
so I need to replace it)
- Fill with coolant to the level of the block
- Install thermostat and housing
- Install water pump pulley and belt, tighten
- Install, hook up carb
- Install plug wires and cap (not set on distributor)
- Lower the car
- Install (temporarily) driver's seat
- Push car to apron of garage
- Use drill to prime the oil pump and system (wish I had a pressure can
here, I don't think the Motive brake bleeder pressure vessel will work)
- Install distributor and FIRE IT UP!
- Adjust initial timing and let it run to warm up and check things...

I anticipate firing it by tomorrow evening.  Film at 11.   :)
