Chuffed
Feel chuffed to bits , all them hrs in a spider infested Garage payed off at last when i rolled out the car and started her up for the first time .
brought tears to the eyes .
A few snags to clear as she seemed to heat up rather quick ,so maybe a few air locks and ign timing issue but seems to tick over well .
2.1 ltr pinto boggs manifold R1 carbs Facet pump and fuel regulator.
so some way to go yet but feel iam getting some where now . vin
And she sounded nice to .

Where's the obligatory youtube post? When I first ran my engine I didn't have a camcorder so recorded it on my laptop microphone. Rubbish
quality but a priceless recording

Even if it all goes horribly wrong at least you should get £250 for the video which in theory will pay for the full rebuild!

CONGRATS ON THE ENGINE START UP
that is the exact same set up i ran when i first started my engine. you wait though you will run it for a few months and i can guarantee you will
upgrade to ITB's!
