Hi, Pigslayer,

That sweetheart wants to run.

Somewhere I heard, in the days before my time, when a truck was at the stage your's is at, a guy would pull the carb, get one of the neighborhood kids to sit aside the engine to pour gasoline from a tin can into the intake manifold, and the guy would drive the truck around just to get it driving. That was before OSHA and a bunch of other reasons to not do this now. But I sense you are on the edge of discovery and celebration.

Way to go.

Regards,

Culver
