SHE'S ALIVE!!!!! WOO-HOO!!!!!
Put the battery in her, a bit of go-juice, and she fired right up! Drove her around a little bit! Needs some tuning, but no more over-revving, no knocking (I guess she did "pass" the screws), idles too low, but stays running! A new cap, rotor, wires, plugs and coil are in order for the week-end, plus attaching the vacuum gauge to get her right!
Power steering doesn't work, and oddly enough, neither do the new power brakes! I've seen it before where the big vacuum tree comes out of the manifold gets full of crud, I'll investigate.
But at least I FINALLY drove her!!!!!
