... she quit after two blocks, no fuel to the carb, clearly I am going to have to pull the fuel tank and I am sure I will find lots of crud, get it cleaned if possible or bite the bullet and buy a new one, for sure get a new 3/8" pickup while I am at it to prepare for the big block ...

Sorry no on-the-road pictures, I was preoccupied by hooking up my tow line to my truck and carefully explaining to my wife how to drive slooooooooooowly back home, then pushing the old girl (the car, not my wife) back into the garage .... but she (my wife) did say "the car looks really good out here" so that is a good thing, eh?

So no out-in-the-world pictures now, but some day ...

Dave
