Startup & Roll Away - Nice lobe

Well, I thought I would update the status on my project Thunderbird since it has been awhile. I have been working hard during spare time on the car and taken it out a few times as I tune on it. Here is a video of the latest startup out of the driveway in HD.

Not a kill switch, it's my external fuel pump switch. I run the impact switch in the trunk with this toggle switch that will kill power. Sort of a backup
 if in an accident. I also use it to shut pump off in case I am doing stuff where I have to turn ignition switch and not have the fuel pump running needlessly. It was a PIA to have pump running when checking electrical every time I turned the key on.

I ran mine on a switch also, for the same reasons.  Sounds good
