Thanks  all!
It  was  great  hearing  it finally!  Still  need  to  adjust  the  carb  a  little.
Now  that  I  got  it  running I  am  going  back  and  rechecking  all  my  wire  connections  in  the  dash  since  i  had  to  pull  it  apart  to  plug  in  my  wires  to  the  ignition  switch.
I never  hooked  up my  cig  lighter  because  i didnt  have  all  the  parts,  so  i  will  get  those  and  button  the  thing  up  and  finish  my  t-tops.
Get  it  registered  and  wait for  the  salt  to  get  off  these  nasty  NY  State  roads.
Thanks  again  , 
Joe

Joe, Ive been reading your posts for about a year or so and its so cool to see your smile and know you got the vette running. Cant wait to hear about your first drive down the road. Is it possible for you to take some pics of the hood and the back side around the wiper door. Im buying an extra hood and want to put a stinger scoop on and yours looks sweet from what I see. Again, congrats!

Rodney

Rodney,
Yes, I was excited to hear the rumble !
Thanks for the comments.
If you go to my web site at the bottom of this post I believe you should see some pics of the hood.
If those don't help you then I will gladly send you some.
Let me know.
Joe

Joel,
thanks !!
It was fun !
I do have a 3-barrel carb but with the price of gas I choose not to put it on!
Having to run premium in this will kill me as it is!
