Project SharpIROC started for 1st time
I tried to start it sommore when my dad got home today, turns out their was no spark and the fuel pump wasnt turning on. After we adjusted some wires we got spark(s) - lots of em, shootin everywhere along with a nice foul odor. After adjusting the plug wires and the distributor, we got small hits. The injectors aren't injecting too good so after priming it a few times using a old school trick my dad learned (when he used to build race cars) with a aerosol can, we got a few sucessful hits but it stalled each time. That still counts as it starting though. Im so rushed with excitement cuz it worked right now. I added a wav of the 1st time Project SharpIROC has been started in over 1 year to my resto page.

Good to hear. Always nice to hear a car that you work hard on startup or at least try. Although when it doesn't you always got that feeling that your soooo close and just need to work on it some more. 
Congrats.
