Hi Dave,

I have a foot pedal starter.

It is good to know it will be that easy to start the car. With my heater hoses I guess I can just connect them together... Im not sure if there will be any other adjustments to have to make to start it with the body off...but Ill post when I get there!

All that said, Im still a ways from getting the body off and getting to work on the engine. Right now Im working on removing the dash and then Ill probably begin taking the body bolts off before really getting into the 216.

Besides the hole in the radiator, Ive already noticed my carb has become rusted so much that the choke and accelerator lever does not move!
