And it begins...

Today's adventure lead me to find out if my 1974 304 would even crack over let alone start. First luck would have it, in has oil still in it. Good sign. Had to find a battery, mind my future plans are a 401 I have sitting on the ground close by so I purchased a battery with that in mind.
My son hooked up the battery sure enough the motor cracked. We splashed a bit of gas and it gave us a few chugs of life.  
Now we need to look at those fuel lines etc. Maybe we can get it running soon.
