Been a while since I have been on this Forum, been extremely busy at work and not a lot of time to wrap everything up, I did hit a few snags the next day, fire it up and ran for just a few minutes , after a couple afternoons tinkering I found that I had not let the hot wire to the Distributor click completely in place it had pulled out just enough to lose connection, 2. The new heater hose had a hole in it, 3. I charged the battery and it was Dead, Trip to NAPA , 4. The P.B. Vacuum was split in the front with something else , when I fired it off ,it had a bad vacuum leak, come to find out , it had a port in the back of the Carb. That I didn't see , so I put the plug in and I was set to go.
5. Set timing today and drove it out of the Garage

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THE GREAT ADVICE !
