After trying to fire it the first time, I realized, in all my excitement, that I had the distributor one tooth off, because I was looking at the wrong mark on the damper!!! When we took care of that “goof”, the next time we tried, we were greeted with the sound of pure, uncorked bliss!! That’s my son doing the camera work. This was the first time the car had been out of the garage for 2 long years!! I was saying that the brake pedal was going pretty far down. The reason being, I think, is because there's not enough vacuum for the power brake booster? It's kind of like manual brakes at this point, which is fine with me. Also notice the “peanut gallery” (my wife and granddaughters) cheering us on??!! Relieved and happy doesn’t even come close to describe how I felt at that point!!



Speakers on, volume up!!!!!
