Fired it off (1st time)

Have not a reliable computer access for about 3 months, (wintering in AZ), so haven't posted in a while. I was anxious to how the beast ,(383), would run once we got home. Ater dealing with a stuck thermostat, leak in the gas line, and leaky valve cover gasket, we finally ran it out. What a sound!!! Also looks to be some great new projects on the site. Howard
If I was you,I,d make up some sort of brackets to hold that rad in,cause those little plastic thingys just aren,t gonna cut it.I learned my lesson the pricey way and I even had aluminum straps to hold mine back!Trust me!
