Wish me luck everyone

I'm going to be firing my black car (again) this evening. I got my manifold and heads back from Golen Engines in July, and finally got around to putting everything back together.

One really noteworthy thing happened when I was doing the reassembly. My intake manifold sat right down and I hand started all of the bolts all the way down. EVERYTHING lined up finally. Hopefully, just hopefully, the seal between the manifold and heads is good finally and I'll have a runnable vehicle.

For those that don't know, I've been fighting a 2 year long battle of a low vacuum and terrible stumbling motor that was running like trash, on a original shortblock and a new 355.
