..I put my oil pan on and forgot to install the pickup tube. The sealant had not dried before I realized it.

It's good to hear I'm not the only one that did that.

Scared at my absent-mindedness after that, I re-torqued everything about 4 times.

I also got my engine fired off today!! Yee-haw! Sounds a little nasty for a street-bound six.

All that's needed is a good tuning.(Thanks to everyone who helped out!) The little 1920 "Mod" Holley has great throttle response, can't wait to hit the road.

One more thing, your engine looks great! I like the blue on that engine.
