I fired up the engine on Saturday, no coolant in it or a rad but had to see if it would start. Good oil presure, good compression.  Cut and shortened the drive shaft to 51 inches C to C if anyone is in the process.  Retrofitting a newer style alternator using 67 Impala bracketry.  Good to here it run it gives you the incentive to work on it.......especially after supper when laziness sets in.......Cheers!!!!
