I've been pretty worried about whether my car will be ready for June.
Feeling better now.

Today the engine ran. :-)

I have a pretty good air leak somewhere in the TB because as soon as it
fired it revved to 3700 RPMs and stayed there. Putting my hand over the
intake brought it down to about 2000. Temperature was about 20 degrees in
the barn and OP went to ~60 psi and one of the filter fittings leaked. Oil
is straight 30 weight.

I let it run for a few minutes to get some data.

So I'm feeling a lot better now about the prospect of getting this thing
ready for the invasion.

The leak and the TB are next on the list.
