My '55 t-bird engine, running for the first time since I disassembled it in high school auto shop (1972)! Block squared and decked, 113 heads shaved to 66cc (9.0:1), Mummert Y265 cam, "B" manifold/'57 carb. She's got a vacuum leak at the spacer, so idle wouldn't settle down. Gas on the outside of the carb, so may need a rebuild.







Thanks to everyone here for the advice and encouragement. This is a significant milestone for me, at many levels.
