    I know everyone here wants pictures. :)
  • I had that same experience. Several months ago I bought a 54 Hornet Special with the Twin H. Seller said it "hadn't run in years but would turn over". New plugs, different distributor, some cold starting fluid, the right combination of cuss words, and off it went and it ran pretty good. Boy was that fun. Enjoy.
