Yellow Runs

Posted last week about my '51 flathead V8. Well after some FTE, a new 12V coil and condenser, and correct wiring... it ran tonight for the first time in 3 years. Long enough to get the temp up to about 160. The carb needs attention, but now that I know it runs I can put the extra carb and rebuild kit to use.

Thanks everyone for the help.

Good deal!! Nice looking truck. 2 questions: what part of TN are you in and is that your John Deere in your avatar?
