My friends - we have ignition and sustained operation at last!

What a great feeling.

I don't have a radiator connected so I only ran it for 15 or 20 seconds for a couple of times, but it starts and runs until I turn the ignition off.

It was showing 15 to 20 PSI of oil pressure and sounded GREAT!

Thank goodness for a nice day (45 degrees or so) and the combined help and encouragement of you guys and your cars.

Got a little ways to go before a drive around the block, but boy, what a milestone today!
