It RUNS!

I filled the coolant system, topped off the oil, and decided it was time to start the beast. I turned the key a few times, with the engine trying to start. On the third or fourth time, it fires, catches, and runs. It runs like crazy. It holds at a good 1K RPMs, and seems to be running at about 14.7AFR. I gave the throttle a little goose, just to see what would happen, and it revs.

Everything seems to be working. I still have a ways to go, but it is getting close. REAL close.

Next, I think the seats need to go into the car, and throttle pedal needs figured out. After the brakes are bled. Otherwise, I'll be tempted to drive it.
