    'nuther crappy video

    1950 Olds 303 with Cragar driven, Littlefield prepped 4-71

    this time the motor is in the car,
    put about ten or twenty miles on it in the last couple days.

    works real nice but,
    still a few minor new car bugs to work out.

    I'm going to swap the aluminum flywheel and pressure plate out for stock steel stuff for starters.

    and I used some "street rod" parts to get it going, Edelbrock carb, K&N air filter, cable throttle, because I had them.
    They will eventually get swapped out too.

    Still need to upgrade the rear end too,
    'don't expect the worn banjo will hold up long even if I baby it.

    But, she's back on the road :)
