She is running strong and true. We have to replace the vacuum advance so that is on order and hopefully in by Friday. We plan on taking her out on her first real drive this upcoming weekend that is when my son and I will both have the proper time to enjoy her (father/son project). She has gone on a very small drive around a parking lot without any problems. We are all very excited for a nice drive. she has been asleep for at least 17 years, maybe even longer.

Looks real nice!

I'm a little concerned about the placement of the fuel filter. If it develops a leak, it will leak right on to the hot exhaust. The fuel filter can be nippled to the fuel pump on the other side of the block. The fuel line could be bent around the top of the timing cover and secured using straps. Probably not necessary, but it might give you a little piece of mind.

Again, your truck looks and sounds great.
