But that depends on your definition of run. I drove it home (20 miles) on the highway, avoiding as many traffic lights as possible. Once it reached 55mph, I backed off the gas and cruised! My wife, following, claimed that she had to give me a lot of room because she didn't want to pass out on the fumes!

Any slightest incline and the car would slow down a lot, it was like driving a car with no compression. It also didn't want to exceed 3500 rpm, like it was getting confused in the firing order. The timing was increased to about 20BTDC just to keep the idle up.
