Not sure how long exactly, but long enough for the thermostat to open and the radiator to get hot enough you don't want to touch it.
Done this a few times, crank the car (usually with a shot of ether to help that crappy gas to catch), she starts up, might have to repeat and feather the choke a few times to get her to hold, but eventually she starts turning over nicely. Let her run for a while and putter around in the garage, after maybe 20 minutes or so she shuts off.
It shouldn't be a fuel issue as the starting fluid does nothing to get her to turn over again, so what could it be?
I'm wondering if my heat sink is not sufficient, but I have run this setup before well enough to drive 20 miles or so, I'm mildly stumped.
I have some superfluous wiring in the system as a rudimentary anti-theft switch, but I could easily remove that. (and, once again, ran it like this quite successfully for a while)
