I haven't done much to the car lately, but drive it. I have been trying to drive it at least one day a week, but the rain and my work schedule make it hard. It did spend the night away from home a couple weeks ago. I had to take my service truck home that day and I drove the Monte to work. My boss let me park it inside the back shop over night. I do not want the car sitting out over night in Fort Dodge. Bad idea. The other night I drove my car to work and was running late so I took it through the drive through and ate in my car on the way home.
I know this might make some people cringe, but I don't care. Cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed! I did finally get my annoying exhaust leak fixed. I had to get a new liner for my mig welder before I could fix it. Check this nonsense out!
I do plan to put new exhaust on the car after the driving season is over. My plan is to keep it together for the Cruise To The Woods, and then I don't care. I am very happy with how the car runs and drives right now. It runs so much smoother now that I changed the timing table. The one thing I am going to try soon is relocating my knock sensor. I put it in the front of my intake in the water jacket. On a 87
Grand National the knock sensor is on the back of the block were my factory one is. I believe it is not in a coolant passage either. I am still getting a red light on my knock gauge at any were over 7 psi of boost. Only getting up to 10psi. I think it is picking up too much fauls knock were it is. I am hard of hearing. So I can not hear detonation. As many times I have red lighted it, it should have blew up by now. I do back out of it through just to be safe. That's all I have for now.
