Gary -

6,000 Rpm, please, no risk of pumping a rod out the side of the block.

I have a bit of work to do before I can fire the motor. I have to start the wiring and plumbing and pull the trans to do the clutch before I can do the 'Bleach Burnout' and put that to urge to rest.

I had the car since 3/20 and have been in the garage 3 time, once to push it in and the other 2 to look and make motor sounds with my mouth, but no amount of time doing actual work. After some sleep this weekend I'm hopeful to actually doing something.

I did order a flame arrestor for the carb, talked to Classic instruments for a new 10k rpm tach with appropriate redline, oil temp gauge, and have a boat load of wire stuff from waytek wire showing up very soon. I think the dash will be the first thing to be done then I can sit and make motor sounds _and_ push buttons...

I still owe more pic's, likely this weekend.

Sandy
