Percolation? Heat soak? Don't drive during summer??

I agree. My build thread got sidetracked really easily as well, but that is what makes it fun.

I've been able to keep up without getting side tracked...

Pour gas in carb if dies
If gas doesn't make it start try ballast
Blast doesn't work try ecm
Ecm doesn't work... kill with fire
Kill with fire doesnt work... redo entire cooling system with electric water pump, 6 electric fans, and LS junkyard engine...
LS engine doesn't fix problem... add 9in Ford rear end...

Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
