[QUOTE="frdmstnggt, post: 4276782, member: 9997"] Well after a few months of having the engine out for a home rebuild I finally got a chance to fire the engine over. I primed the oil pump and topped off all fluids. Next came the fuse for the fuel pump which I pulled earlier to allow no fuel to the engine for cranking purposes for oil pump priming. After that I called about 10 of my friends and my neighbor. About 20 minutes later of anxiousness and excitement everybody was there. I then hooked the positive terminal back up gave her a once over topo and bottom and was satisfied. I had my wofe in the passenger seat and me behind the wheel. I turned the key to the "on" position and let the computer come around for about 3 seconds. Next I told everyone "Here we go" and turned the key. After a few rotations of the starter I felt a glug, glug, ......glug.....vrooooom! I was so excited!!!! My best friend brought a cheap shampane bottle w/o me knowing and he popped it after it fired. It was like winning NASCAR or something. So I let her settle for about 20 minutes check all the fluids again, topped of and went for her first ride. She feels Great!!! I am so pleased. My first engine rebuild fired right over the first time!!!! Thanks to everyone for all the help. Wish there was someway I could repay all you back for all of your knowledge that you gave me.:beer: :rolling: :burnout: :read: [/QUOTE]
