Re: What did you get done 2.14.10 valentines day edition

I finally got the truck to fire and run!!! The remanufactured Holley 1850 that I bought ended up not having the little c-clip to hold the float on and it was stuck and couldn't move. Then, when I used the piston stop to check my timing mark I forgot to rotate the crank back to TDC before stabbing the distributor so I was 180* off. Restabbed the dist. and tried to fire it up but I had a bent flywheel that kept hitting the starter. Put a new one on and fired it up and it ran!!!!! Thank goodness!! After all that I went bowling with the Family and now I am basking in the glory of my mini victory. Now I just need to get the driveshaft I have shortened and run my exhaust tubing.
