Thanks for all the support and advice. I have taken a lot of time (and around $8,000) to make sure the car has everything it needs to come back from four years in storage.
The clicking/non starting seams to be the last remaining problem...assuming the high water temp will be fixed by installing the correct thermostat and the vapor lock will be fixed by putting the original carb back on (the new one doesn't seam to get better milage anyway, might as well go back the doube pumper).
Deeb, make sure you call me before going to events...I would hate to show up wearing the same car. Our cars will be disturbing alike when I paint my bumpers and trim black. Where can I find more pictures of your ride?
