Car is now at the shop! When I get it back, it'll have disc brakes, a shifter that doesn't suck, the Thrush on it, and a speedometer that works!

If it's a plastic cover, it's down in the gauge itself, not the bulb.

Not quite. About a week later, the damn balancer started wobbling. The Fluidampr got installed last night. Mercifully, no damage appears to have happened. Gonna take 'er out for a bit here today.

Second PerTronix did the exact same thing. Crap canned it and threw the HEI back in. Uglier? Sure but it actually works. That PerTronix never had less than 12 volts and still cut spark. I'll be...

That was proven to be false years ago. I seem to remember the original color was wrong and they got super, super cagey about the trim tag. I think Grump himself hung up on them at one point if I...

I only just found out they had a Livonia location. Dad (who was born in '70- sorry to make y'all feel old) has never mentioned GAS. He was a Ramchargers guy when he had his Firebird. Was it not there...

Aaaaand the PerTronix module is now dead as a door nail. Won't even try to pop off. I'll be getting a warrantied one, and if that one goes bad too, I'm swapping distributors.

It's 100% something in the distributor. First, disabling the rev limiter helped a ton but it still cuts power here and there. I did get to drive it and, oh my GOD, it's gonna haul ass. The brakes are...

I managed to hit my deadline of starting it today. Four years since he passed. Unfortunately, it's not running good. At all. It's cutting out and acting like the rev limiter is set at like 2500rpm....

I broke down and ordered a third fan. It won't look correct if you look at it, but you won't really see it under the fan shroud anyway.

Here's a question that may seem silly, but I've actually seen conflicting information.

The cooler lines- Does the top one for the rad go to the top one for the transmission? Or do they swap?

The cooler lines will definitely be done in the air. My fat ass doesn't fit under it otherwise haha

I'm gonna have to do the first run without a fan, since the fan is on backorder. No biggie- there's still too much salt for the car to leave the backyard anyway. Won't be run long. I still have to...

It would appear the fan clutch and the fan do not work together. I was really, really hoping I didn't have to use a 5 blade fan with a factory type clutch. Looks like I do, since the holes don't line...

Can't tell but that car looks awful dark and like it has no vinyl top. I know from my trim tag my car was factory LeMans Blue and had the vinyl top.

I don't believe he did. Pap never did a whole lot with this car. That said, it is staying simply because I don't feel like swapping pulleys and this car won't spend a ton of time at high RPM anyway....
