Just need to announce to the world, I got my engine going this morning! WOOT! It still needs to be tuned-in, but it started up (second try) and ran steady for several minutes.

It needed a carb rebuild (78 rochester quadrajet). I wasn't going to tackle it until I talked to some guys on here and they suggested i give it a try. Thanks to Everyone!
P.S. I'll try and post some before and after pictures of the carb tonight.
