Well guys, thanks for the good wishes. Got first fire today. A bit of fiddling with the distributor, a bit of gas to prime the carburetor, and she lives. Only problem was after a few minutes, I had a puddle of oil on the ground! Fortunately, it was only the plastic oil line (stratoflex) that I used for the mechanical oil pressure guage. It looks like it came in contact with the exhaust manifold since I hadn't tie wrapped it down. Fortunately a small set back. It is amazing how much oil an 1/8" line can put out when it is under 60 psi. Back to auto parts store tomorrow for some more tubing and I should be ready to reinstall the front end and have a drive! Sorry, but I was working alone and didn't have the time for a video...
