Worked on the truck today and got it running. I had the distributor one tooth off ,once I got it right the truck fired right up and ran pretty good. It is VERY loud, I had a couple of 4 foot pieces of pipe I put on it with no mufflers so I'm sure all the nieghbors heard it running. I'll have a better idea of how it runs after I get the exhaust run on it.

I also got the steering column put back in, it sits close to the dash with the int. shaft collapsed 3 inches. I also installed the new gauge bezel. The bezel looks good and I painted the needle while I had it apart. I just hope all the gauges are good in this cluster.
