Re: '61 Apache "BoomStick"

SHE'S ALIVE!!! https://youtu.be/26ZDzVYPUbw
After realizing i put the dizzy in backwards again, did the same thing for the first engine start up, she fired right up. We ran her through the COMPCams break-in procedure with only one hiccup. I hadn't fully tightened the distributor after spinning it around and it walked the timing way back to where it was backfiring real bad. I tighten it back down in the right spot and ran her 25 min between 2000-3000rpm, varying ever few minutes.
Then i went and picked up my wifey as a surprise, and boy was she! Not often does she get to ride in a hood-off, recently revived, hot rod pick up!
