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! www.46chevytruck.com

Great job...big grins in Oconomowoc. I'd hate to say that after three or four cocktails!
According to the Google spell-checker, you should live in Ergonomic.

Stuart You aught to hear the GPS systems try to pronounce O-con-o-mo-woc. It is rather humerous. The only thing better than hearing that is hearing my 216 run!!!

This really looks great. I wish I had the discipline to document my work like you do. All my pictures are scattered like a whirlwind came through Webshots and I don't take the time to document what, why, and how.
