First attempt at starting this car in nearly a decade:

Actually, not the first attempt, the first attempt resulted in having to reconnect a wire to the coil so I guess that was actually the second. If you listen carefully you'll hear a tapping/popping sound, thats a broken exhaust pipe. That engine sounds sooooo good to me, and its only running on 7 cylinders there, but that problem was fixed the next day as well as the fuel problem.
Next stop... Brakes! Or transmission, not sure yet....
