I finally got it running! Yesterday, actually!

That's idling around 700 rpm with a little revving... runs pretty damn good, considering I haven't even set my base timing! :1

I dunno... maybe? When is the meet?

I've gotta finish building my alternator mount, fill it with coolant, set my base timing, mount and wire a battery, and do some rough tuning before I can even think about driving it anywhere. :y

Ahh, well... fuggit. My jalopy won't be roadworthy by tomorrow. I'd come down there in the Toyoda, but I'm too broke to afford a tank of gas right now. :X
