Congratulations, Josh! I had the same rush two years ago when mine fired for
the first time. The pre-lube trick of turning the crank came to me via the
list and I am happy to be able to pass it along.

Hey guys just thought I would drop a line and say I fired up the '71 tonight.
I got the prelubing figured out just had to roll it over a few times (thanks
Dennis!). Sounds great, need to do a little tuning and such but its running!!!
I love the sound of open headers (so nice not having neighbors, especially
since I started it at 9:00). Anyway now its off to replacing the body bushings
and then its to stripping and bodywork!!
