If you want to see it. Maybe some one will come along who knows how to link it.

Ohh...I guess it wasn't anything more than I did! (Edit)
Thanks Kevin

It worked for me-CONGRATS!

Nothing quite like the sound of one coming back to life after you've had it scattered all over the garage floor.

Good Luck!

Kevin,

Fantastic!! She sure sounds sweet!

You think you're pumped up right now, just wait until you crawl behind the wheel and she moves under her own power!

That is awesome, give yourself and your ol' man a pat on the back

Thanks guys I am excited about the firs start. I picked up the oil pressure sending unit today. I am looking for a gas cap though. The small diameter of the fill tube is 1 3/4 inches the big slots measure 2 1/4 inches. If anyone out there can help it would be great. I will start a thread for this. as well.

KS, sounds great ! ! Brings back great memories of when I had my 226 sitting on the frame, no cab, etc, and was bored .060, sounded great and blew out flames w/o the pipe on it. Had a chain hoist in my garage and thought it was gonna break the ceiling joists Body looks great and yeah, we do good work in the dark.

Keep on rollin! ! Jim
