She Runs!!!

I got the thing running, doing about 1,100 at an idlesounds right but seems a little high. Does 1st gear around my yard no problem at an idle. Brakes are kinda soft and it locks up the drivers side wheel easily though. I need the brakse strong before the street. Smokes the tires no problem and a slightly fast clutch drop doing 3k. it wants a litte gas at start-up. I put a couple cc's on ATF into both rotors, and it smoked alot but settle down after about 30 seconds. I only put .4 miles on it and let it run for about 10 minutes and started it and stop it several times. I got a little blueish smoke at start-up, Althouh I am gonna change all the fluids and see what happens. There is a little poping above 3k but its not consistent and the exhaust is rusty.everything seems to work with the except of weak brakes, power attena, and the radio is real messed up but it plays good. I guess its not bad for $190 cause i had to put in new plugs and gas.

I hope you aren't fond of your catalytic converters.. ATF will mess them up quick. :P

Good job getting it running. It sounds like you have an awesome project on your hands
