I've been driving it around a bit, drove it to my brothers yesterday, and to work today. I hate the powertrax locker, its sloppy and noisy, that will be coming out and a Detroit unit put in. I need to get it on the alignment machine this week in work if I can, and I am still waiting on the side view mirrors. But, its inspected and legal, and I am driving it!

I've been doing some tuning to get the WOT dialed in, cruise is great. I have been taking it easy, the Walbro pump is getting noisy, but I do have a pair of Racetronix pumps to put in it.

I'll snap some pictures through the week and post up. I'm gonna try and find some local cruises/shows to hit up.

How's it running Jim?

pretty damn good, hate the lunchbox locker, and the trans is a little soft for my liking, but I'm dialing in the tune and it's only getting faster.

LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol, true that.

I got out today and calibrated the wbo2, then changed the oil.

I also found some loose fitting vacuum lines on the vacuum block on top of the throttle body. So, I replaced those and used some stainless steel safety wire to keep them in place.

Hey guys, just posted a want ad for some interior pieces in a wanted section. I am mainly looking for the upper b-pillar trim for the interior. I have good shape blue ones but the screw holes are all missing, and I have tan once that a real chalky but good screw holes. The chain ones aren't even worth spending the time to sand down and paint. Does anybody have anything?
