I'm one tired, but cautiously optimistic rookie Corvair mechanic.  I  
got the new air horn cleaned and installed.  I then had a gas leak on  
the connection to the new part.  I solved that, balanced the carbs,  
and she started, ran a little rough, and then evened out.  Most  
importantly, she didn't die.  I wasn't able to take her for a spin as  
it was two in the morning, but I'm set to take her for a spin as soon  
as I wake up later today, hopefully around 8:00 a.m.  I'll keep you  
informed.

cylinders and lines, leaking carbs and an electric fuel pump upgrade"

I wonder what my dad, the Corvair mechanic / maven whose car I'm  
working on, would think if he were here.
