First Ride
Got her started today and went for a short ride. First time she ran in 60 years. Had a bad ignition switch and all the wiring connections were bad plus a dead short. Water pumps were stuck so they were replaced along with a tune up and new plug wires. Need to rebuild the carb now and she should run much better. Thanks to all for the help. Bob
