[T3] Houston, we have ignition!

Yes, that's right, the T-34 lives. : ) Got it fired up earlier today, for  
the first time in the 15 months that I have owned it (or since 1968 for the  
original owner). Even the carbs were close (a used set I had laying 
around), as  I didn't buy any kits (yet) to go thru the originals. The distributor 
(a ZV/JCU  4 R 3) was giving me difficulties last night (no spark), and I 
found it was the  cause today. I just swapped in an SVDA that I have at the 
ready (for road trips  in the 65 Notch), and it lit right off. And to make 
Russ happy up there, NO OIL  leaks. : ) This thing runs really good too, and 
the trans works both forward and  reverse. 
 
I still have a bunch of stuff to do (some minor wiring, and other stuff),  
but at least the car will now move on it's own. : ) It stops great too, 
between  the wide 5 disc conversion, and Jim rebuilding a master cylinder for 
him, and me  replacing ALL of the steel lines and hoses. Jim supplied the 
fronts, and they  are perfectly sized, Thanks again Jim. 
 
That's the first step. A couple more, and I'll be ready to take it to the  
2012 T-3 Invasion. : )
