"IT...IS...AALIIIIVE!!"

She lives! Spent $6.15 at Checker for new points. That's all it took!


Runs better than I dreamed: idled great, smooth; fuel pump, timing, carb--all great--even the exhaust sounded good.

Checked to see if the clutch engaged in first and reverse--yes it did, but NO brakes. So, at least I know what gets attention next!

Yippee! This was the first big hurdle, and she soared over it. Anyone have a hub-puller? :D

Signs of life...

Installed a new ignition cylinder in the dash board. Need to check spark on everything, but couldn't resist--gave the key a turn:

We did one more test fire, and she coughed a few times. Not quite enough spark. Going to replace the points, and check spark.

More to come!
