Scuffed and painted my GP bar, installed it. Fits quite nice. Front is all triangulated suspension wise, as far as factory bracing goes. Only things left to do up front is a quick ratio box and a jeep shaft, aside from replacing bushings, balljoints, and brake components. For the rear, eventually I'll get a UMI shock tower brace and rear seat braces. I also Installed the bumper and cleaned up the bolts. The marker lenses in the "new" bumper are garbage, but eh. Looks better than my mashed up piece. Haven't gotten around to installing the 307 shroud... maybe this weekend. Also, I think I figured out why sometimes my car is deafeningly loud, and other times it's damn near quiet enough to have a speaking voice conversation, windows down and all, and seems to have days when it's really peppy and punchy, and other days where it's lazy off the line in comparison. I have my advance plugged into the port on the D/S of the carb, above the driver's idle mixture screw. I was fiddling with the line, and folded it over itself at the dist. nipple (tee hee), and the car got way quieter and ran a lil smoother. so, I think the little transfer(?) slot is exposed, giving a vacuum signal to that port (carb thinks its at cruise, not idle) and it's giving the engine extra advance at idle, like it's plugged into a manifold source. Sound right?
