Mike,
The fuel pump works good, the oil was fresh when we started, and still smells OK. We were pouring gas in to be assured we were getting good gas. After we had the tank boiled out,and put in fresh gas, we have good fuel coming through the carb's accelerator pump.

The original intention was to be a quick fire up and determine if we could use the motor this year before we pulled it. I have spent enough time on this. We will pull the motor, and probably pull it apart to determine its actual condition, but I don't believe it will be a good option to run it this year, in its current condition. Weather we rebuild this motor, or swap in a different big block, or swap in a new Hemi drive train, will be Biggie's decision, its his car. The more time we waist trying to get this one to run is less time we have for moving forward towards making the 62 a drivable ride for this summer.
