Got my engine started!

Just have to share I got my 350 TPI engine started. There were a few bumps in the road. I won't bore you with too many details. If interested you can see more pics and blog entry on my website. http://www.tagworld.com/azmark
Let me know if you have any comments or questions. I was excited to hear her run.

That's great!! Looks like a nice clean install. I remember the first time I fired up my TPI, I was actually a little surprised it ran.

Thanks my67 I haven't decided on rims/tires yet currently just have plain steel rims generic used tires so I see ride height and move it around. I figure tires are the easy part just takes $$$ and a few minutes to bolt them up.
