I had just enough room to get a jack under the front-end of the Valiant on the trailer runner, and get it up far enough to get my hands in the passenger's side front wheelwell, and tighten up the 90 degree fitting from the fuel line to the regulator sitting above it, luckily, that solved the fuel leak. I jumped inside and rolled the engine over, then hit the ignition...nothing. Again....nothing. I crawled out of the cage and manuvered around the front fender to peer under the hood, coil wire is not in the coil. The next try she fired right up, and after a few blips of the throttle, settled into a 1200 rpm rumble. First time I had heard the little small-block make noise since I loaded it on the trailer at Drag Week 2011!
