took it for its first drive

i took my truck out for a drive yesterday. had some small problems. first of the timing was not set and it was backfiring through the carb, the choke was not set properly (according to my step dad) we ran into a guy in a ditch and had to wait about 20 min. i turned it off. of course it does not want to start when its warmed up. i had to press the throttle all the way to the floor to start it. what else, lets see... when in first gear and i slam the throttle down it accelerates like a 18 wheeler. still needs work, also a valve is clicking a little. arent old trucks fun?

Edit: car show is this next saturday, hope its ready and it doesnt rain...

Edit: also no seat belts, and the steering wheel is off about 45 degrees
