 :wow: IT RUNS  :bananasmi :bananasmi

no new pics or video yet. i got it running Sunday afternoon. it's never an easy thing. i got 2 sputters and i adjusted the dist.
and then nothing, no spark, no 12V to the coil. my Mallory box took a  :swear: . disconnected it, got out the mopar box, made
a jumper for the dist. and it fired right up. ran it for 20 min. set the timing, changed the oil and filter. now i have to finish putting
the rest of it back together.
