Realised I haven't taken a shot with the new intake on it. Looking way better than how I found it! When I get the new cam I'll freshen up the front and it should be good!

You can get rid of the dual snorkle crap now. I want to and make a fiberglass tool/parts tray for that area when working under the hood.

Ya, I need to knab a hunk of sheetmetal and cut it out to fit.

What car is that radiator from? The cap is on the opposite side of mine.

blue89 · Posted: Tue Jul 14, 2009 9:12 am Post subject:

It's a dual core V6 radiator. Also why the hoses are wrapped around. Someday when I find a V8 rad I'll swap it. Till then it's working just fine.

Thanks Jake!

Last time I was at Bruce's he didn't have the blank plate. I'll have to wait a bit longer till he gets a TBI car in.

Aren't those part treys a dime a dozen in the junk yard?

They are, but we don't have junkyards within an hour from where I live. I rely on Kurfbird to supply my second hand f-body parts Laughing

Little vid of of a WOT 2nd to 3rd shift. It has a little miss now cause a spark plug wire rubbed enough to cause an arc. Gotta fix it but it still runs pretty strong.

It was spinning from 2-3?

blue89 · Posted: Wed Jul 15, 2009 8:42 am Post subject:

Yup. It stopped spinning when I let off the gas at the middle of 3rd. I was going too fast in a 45mph zone. And it's a 3sp with a 1:1, no OD.

i like the earplugs hanging from the mirror... you know, in case anyone is crazy enough to sit in your passenger seat Shocked

I'll do a 1st gear rolling start stomp. Those wheels/tires are destined to Ian so I'm trying to be nice to them. It's pretty fun though, good thing I don't drive it but once or twice a week. You don't even mention fuel economy around it....
