well the day came. I was so hyped to get her running i called out of work sick. Pushed her out to the driveway. Put the car up on blocks. Put the fluids in.
Crank it. Fireballs out the carb. Check timming again..looks cool. Biger fire balls.

WAIT! There are 3 marks on that crank wheel!
Duh!
Move the wires around. Crank crank VROOM!
Ahh i love that sound. Wound it up to 2K and moved it around there, bliped it a few times. 20 mins later and its still alive!
The 390 is a little wacked but thats easy.
Its got a junk tranny in it. Im gona start on that soon.
Got a low gear set and manual VB to put in it (No messing with kickdown for me!)
ahh this is cool!

When the 440 was in there it was "whats gona brake next or whats gona light on fire today"
But now everything is going well.
