On the road

Got out to 2 car shows last week.

On the way back from Rahway, then power went out. Seems like the ignition terminal was look and we lost the circuit. Today:
- fixed that
- ended up taping 2 unrelated wires
- installed RobbMc mini-starter
- tuned the choke
- installed Optima battery

Engine is installed in the car

The engine is now back in the car!

Tomorrow is final prep, wiring, piping, fluids... then I *should* be turning the key.

Pic of assembly before going in the car:

She's Ready!

Today, finished putting the engine today. It is ready, intake to pan.

Things in the mail that are crucial:
1. Motor mounts
2. Exhaust manifold bolts
3. AN Fuel fittings

Once I have these parts, the engine will be able to go back in the car.
