Re: Ugly Betsy.

More lame video from today. Last weekend I replaced the timing cover, water pump, oil pan ect. I figured I'd toss a fire extinguisher in next to me and try to make it move. Made it to the end of the dirt road. I didn't venture beyond that. I was petty nervous. It ran very poorly. I need to invite someone over to help tune it. I can't keep it running without a foot on the pedal at this point. It started to run worse towards the end on the video. I realised that I had forgotten the snug up the distributor. I was content to get it back in the shop before anyone called the cops.

Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
