Just short of eight years after I started my restoration, I (for the first time) actually got to hear my engine run!!!
YouTube video of the "first running" Was never completely positive that I would be able to get this far without help (other than the help I get from Stovebolt.com). I actually got the distributor in place and points set, etc.... the first try.
Ends up the starter I had in it was a little tired so I cleaned up my original starter and it cranked it right over (slow but I have a 6V battery). Then after tightening up the temporary wiring and running a line to a temp fuel "tank"; I actually heard it sputter!!!
After a little gas in the carb and a couple cranks later - IT'S ALIVE!!!!! There is no exhaust and I have to put the radiator back on so I could not run it long but it certainly makes for a great day and another key turning point in the restoration!
