I installed the drive shaft but lost one of the Castle Nuts. I went to every store you can think of and finally found it at Ace Hardware. 7/16 20-tpi. I attached a video of my first drive out of the garage. But that's not the something new.

When driving back into the garage I came up a little too fast with the clutch. Before the rebuild.., my car would have stalled. Instead the car burned rubber on the driveway. Well that's the something new.

I think I am ready for the "Salt Flats".
Car pulls strong with no clutch chatter. Hopefully it stays like this.
I have noticed that with the vacuum fuel pump the oil pressure takes a little bit longer to come up to run pressure. Has anyone also noticed this or is this also something new. Maybe about 3-4 seconds
Looks like your building a classic hot rod with no fenders, pending a roof chop.
Must feel good to have a fresh engine, my burnouts are still subject to wet grass......
Great to see the project near completion. Looks like you will be ready for summer!
Thanks Dave, Right now I am having oil pressure problems in startup. Posted in separate thread.
Yep, looks like a rod in progress!
