So those videos were with his MSD setup. He did end up getting mine to run. He said it was something to do with setting the rev limiter. He'd never used a PerTronix before and is not a fan

It's back home now. Waiting on headers. Dropped em off to get sandblasted and then they'll be getting that Alvin paint (thanks to Chuck_Burg for making me aware of this stuff. Hope it works for me). You'll notice the back seat is out. This is because I'd lost the keys and was worried I'd locked them in the trunk. I spent days looking for them. I just found them like five minutes before I left to get the engine. They were in the dirt where I park my truck in the back. I also need to get the rebuilt carb rebuilt because it's leaking. I knew that price was too good to be true. At least it worked good enough for the break in. And yes, I plan on replacing that fuel line with some hard line.
