Well we lost at least 2.5 hours today trying to find a 2 5/16 electrical water guage  but at high Noon we stopped a got going on trying to fire up Ms Liberty.. about 1:15 Az time e put fuel in and ran our batt almost down before I figured out that I turned on the Master but not the Ign.---lol  chared up the battery and opened my can of ERC fuel and but in 5 gallons for a total of 8 to get it over the mech. fuel pump. Almost ran the batt.  down again before we checked to see if-- I had made the rookie mistake of----You guess it---180 out!!!!!!  took the carb plate off to get to the dist. got a squirt bottle for fuel and  WHAM BAM Thank YOU Ms Liberty she fired and after about 6 seconds I checked the fuel pressure  12 PSI ---T- handle and a small  twisted her back to 7.5 and she settled down--- all the checking and rechecking of the lines and hoses paid off two small leaks one on the rear carb. feed and the other on a return water line!!!!!!

Many thanks to Andy & John for a great day and to my neighbor RIP, his brother Jim, and James to helping clear my back yard so that I can get Miss Liberty LOADED on Wed.


We have video--- if I can figure our how to post on You tube!!!!!!!!!

Great job Sparky, wish I couldve been there to see it. Good luck at EM this weekend, be safe.

Thanks Guys,  We have to finish the right side lower panel and the one like it on the other side.  Lots of small things will try to load the car Wed afternoon or Th  then  a set of hand tools and  more.  It has never had all the panels on at once on the ground on its wheels.  I am looking forward to seeing what it looks like.

Sumner will be through town on the 24th and will help me determine the future body work.
