Another flathead came to life this afternoon, approximately 5:00ish p.m. est.

For a 77 years old "Person" that's been waiting, and struggling for over 40 years it ""FIRED-UP".
Was so happy, I went down my driveway "Yelling" I Did it, I did it, my wife came out thinking i'd lost it,:D:D:D.

BIG thanks to Walt Dupont for engine work,( walt that motor sounded soooooooooooooonice)
And Uncle Max for the perfect running carbs..

And now I need Bubba for rebuild of crab dist, as it was breaking up after warm-up at WOT.

MAN I'M IN A GOOD MOOD.

P.S. Can i start-it up again at 10:30 P.M.?????????:):):):):)

Congratulations!!! I know I was pretty happy when I got one going after 23 years. And I too wanted to go back out there and start it up again later. Ford Music. Good luck with the project.
