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.
