64 jetstar 88 first time starting

Hello, all, today I fired up my inherited j88 for the first time of my ownership, starting December of 2013. I'm fairly certain it has the original 330 v8 with an after market 4 bbl edelbrock. The engine sounded beautiful, it burned the old fuel with no problem, I mixed in 5 fresh gallons of premium and some seafoam. It did let some steam from the rear driver side wheel, but this was only after the addition of the seafoam. The ignition fell out when trying to use the key, so a flathead screwdriver was used instead, but my wiring is all jacked up, seeing as how my grandfather (previous owner) was an electrical contractor, so these two will need to be a dressed before she becomes road worthy. I'm currently working on attaching a link of the video I took of it.

It's always cool to bring one back to life.
