I'm a little worse for the wear, but the Comet is rolling again

AOD is in, correct flywheel this time, all bolted up, crossmember in place(that took some fabricating) using the stock column shifter(took a little fabrication as well) and made my maiden voyage tonight, woke everyone within 5 miles I'm sure... lol
BUT!!
during the work on my linkage I tried to cut my ring finger in half, I don't think my wife will appreciate that...
oh well.
da car is rolling, needs a little tweaking on the TV rod and shifter linkage, not quite right, the shifter doesn't engage park correctly, but it runs through all gears.
205 70 R14s, 3:1 rear, 2000rpms @ 70mph about right? I figured it would be higher.
