It's Alive! (And It's Loud!)




After a 14-month hibernation, the beast was awakened. I hired Jim from Markus Mobile to stop by and spend a couple hours with me as we woke the car from its slumber. We reinstalled the MSD Ignition 8582 Pro-Billet Distributor since I had removed it without marking the rotor position a couple weeks ago (oops), threw in some fresh Autolite AR3924 Racing Spark Plugs, hooked up the electric choke, and set the temp on the electric fan. At first we were trying to find TDC to install the distributor, so the car was popping and exploding out the dumptubes and once out of the carb. When the car was running, Jim tweaked the Holley for a good idle. It was so loud, but sounded unreal. What a freakin' relief that was...
