The little engine that could...maybe.

Well tomorrow I will hopefully be able to put my engine troubles behind me...hopefully.

Some of you have been followin my engine trouble so you know what has been going on. Others may have no clue what I'm talking about so I'll give a quick recap. Heres the post if your interested http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php3?t=153909 I had my truck runnin excellent then all of a sudden in 24 hours my truck went from running to not running. My tach stopped working, the engine started running bad, then missfiring, and then dead. I found out my HEI coil had blown so I replaced it and I also had to replace my module. I bought an Accel brute thunder coil which was defective so under warranty I was able to get it replaced. The coil is arriving at my house tomorrow and HOPEFULLY I can drop this thing in there and start my truck right up!

I do have a question though...is there anything I should do to help this engine fire right up, other than crossin my fingers and toes? It has been sittin for...geesh almost a month I think with many attempts at getting it to start. I just want to have all my bases covered so this thing will fire right up. Anything that you can possibly think of that would effect the startup I would love to hear about so I can address them all.

Thanks and I'll post here tomorrow to let you guys know if it started up or not.
