What do i have?

Great news. I mocked up the trans cooler so it wouldn't make a puke mess.

New plugs/cap/rotor/cond/coil/pump/gear&chain

Dribbled some juice down its throat enough to fill the float bowl, and it lit right up near instantly and idled beautiful. I only played around for 30 seconds, enough to verify a few gauges and move some oil for curiosity.

I tried the clutch packs and it wanted to move its own *** heavy 10ton with a slow idle, even with the assembly on the ground. I just bumped that carb linkage and it started to take a 8ft bite as it sits.

So time to source a pump, and find out where to hang this radiator.

Oh yeah. I'm getting itchy now.
