Well, some of you might remember i was trying to install a new carb and intake and was having some problems. Well after i had 3 of my mechanic friends came over to look, and we did every test we could possibly think of...well it turns out (quite embarassing) that i had the fuel line attached to the brake vacuum inlet on the carb, and well we found this out AFTER we tryed to roll start it...ouch!!!

pulled it two whole blocks and well there are two lines of gasoline all the way down the street from the tailpipes...man, you should have seen it when we started it...heres a couple pics of the aftermath
