That's what I'm thinking. I never tried using one but there seem to be plenty of resources to help figure it out.1 Corinthians 1:27

I got my fenderwells finished and installed, lots and lots of 1/4 x 20 bolts in the front clip, and the forward wiring harness put back together. I used one of those GM weatherproof 6 pin molex plugs to connect it to the firewall harness; pretty cool stuff. I should have been using those a long time ago. I hope to knock out a big list of little stuff the coming week and then concentrate on driveshaft/exhaust after payday.1 Corinthians 1:27

Lots more done this week; exhaust is on except for the tailpipes, clutch is hooked up and working, front bumper is on, hood hinges are on, pulled the MAF apart and cleaned it, figured out the tach wiring and got it working, plus several other small jobs. The front is sitting about 1 1/2" lower; the front shocks were too long and bottomed all the way out so I pulled them off and will get new ones. I started it this afternoon and let it run about 30 minutes. After stumbling for a few minutes it settled down; idles really nice and throttle reponse seems good. Vital signs all look good. Still need to get a programmer but this is pretty promising. For exhaust I just went with a couple of Summit's house brand of glass packs and 2 1/4" pipe. It has a really interesting tone especially when you rev it.1 Corinthians 1:27

Car is really looking good! When all is done and the tune up complete I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the performance the little engine has---and the mileage!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

No pictures but I bit the bullet and ordered the programming module from TWEECER today. They are going to preprogram it so it should be plug and play if all goes well. Also finalized all the temporary wiring I had ran and wrapped all the wire bundles.1 Corinthians 1:27

My grandfather, mom's side, drove a 39 Plymouth coupe when I was about 4 or 5 and I thought it was pretty cool and I loved the tail fins on the 49 Cadillac. I drew cars when I was in the 5th and 6th...
How did you get hooked on cars?
