I CAN'T WIPE THE SMILE OFF MY FACE! Tonight was my night to pick up out 1 yr old son from daycare because my wife works until 7. I was home with him by 6:00 and fed him dinner, bath, etc... Wife got home at 7:30 and off to the garage I went....

I turned on the video camera, got in the car, pumped the pedal one time, turned the key and and ERA #676 was born!! Without any choke, she ran choppy at first but nice! The neighbors came running over to see her purr! Then I noticed some smoke...uh oh...getting nervous. I killed the engine and went to investigate. Someting black and pasty on the header at the collector. I couldn't figure it out at first...then I remembered...grease from when I fit the pipes. Now to button up the little stuff...CHP here I come for my VIN number.

Thanks everyone for all the support. I look forward to cruising with some of you soon.
