Cranked her over to bring up oil pressure then hit the ignition button and she ROARED into life!!!! It ran a little rough but once my good mate Howard & myself had tinkered with carbie settings and the Idle circuit she eventually settled down to a beautiful steady beat.

Side valve V8's have the sweetest note, I pity guys who are only interested in modern Fast 4's.

When I find out (hopefully from one of you guys on MLU) how to do the youtube thing I will footage of it running.

Nice Work on the truck mate. Nothing like the old monkey face blitz's especially the Ford one's!

Before Utube comes along perhaps you'd like to learn that you can upload up to 5 photos onto the one post instead of a post per photo. All you do is wait till the first photo is uploaded then press 'Browse' again and repeat the process.
