Nor-Cal '73 Swinger

Okay. The car sat for years in my garage, then after a move it sat exposed outside as my new homes garage was small & filled with obligatory crap. I finally got off of by butt last October (2010) & got started. I'd always wanted to work on cars myself but had done next to nothing. So, I enrolled myself in the local community college auto tech program on saturdays to help myself out & give me access to a shop. First things first, get the car started. I started by replacing the radiator (rusted out), water pump (same), set valve lash, set timing, full tune up, new module, distributor, coil, regulator, hoses, and tried to get it to fire up and after a bit, it did. Sitting since '97. takes a very weak breath in 2010.
