The Scamp's engine, trans and steering are in place

At least you didn't grenade it first!

You should have came out. I didn't really know if I was going to drive until that Saturday morning. We thrashed for two weeks straight to put the car together with a small block after it was languishing for 4 years with a blown big block chebby in it. That dormant time is what eventually did us in, Holley blue pumps don't like to be unused for years and then be expected to perform their duty flawlessly.
