I have the older MSD Atomic system on my Vette with the supplied external pump running PWM, it’s been pretty trouble free. I never set up the timing control but maybe one day for science to see if it’s worth it.

I agree on the Mav, bringing back some 8ft pieces of trim was kind of a joke and I used my Ranchero instead. I also think it would get ripped up at the off-road park, but other than that I like it as a fun practical car.

Well besides the car stuff I spend time on other geeky things like comic books, electronics and computers. That’s mainly it.

I went walking. For awhile now for the exercise I go to a local park and walk up a long hill, I don't know how long, but at first it had me really out of breath and heart pumping like crazy to make it halfway to the top. Eventually I got to where I can do the whole trail but I have to take...

I know where the end scene on the first Fast n Furious movie was shot. Terminal Island where they built up the port of LA in the late 90s. A race track was there before that, besides racing there every weekend I was a night guard on the whole port project so when they got to the scene in the...

Thanks, never heard of it but looks like my kind of show

Well did the first longish kind of drive on the freeway, total mileage was 55 miles, sometimes doing around 85 just to see how it felt. Mainly cruised 70mph. It was early on a Sunday with light traffic on the 101. Lots of wind noise but otherwise drove nice and straight and seemed to happily...

Not today, actually last Tuesday, merged the 'Net onto the 101 freeway like a regular car for the first time ever. Was only a quick 5 min drive to go from one end of town to another, but it seems pretty happy around 70mph. Not much power but it managed. My cam wouldn't focus on the onramp sign...

Yeah I have to think if the response is good it would be a really nice trouble free motor and more power than my chassis could probably handle in its current state. I'm not too jealous because I'm more into the idea of a nice 360 for whatever reason.

At the time I felt like it was the least attractive and its what I had to settle for, but now if I could have it again I would choose it over most of the other g-bodies unless its one of the more special ones like a turbo Buick or Hurst Olds etc.

I have no idea how you came to that conclusion :steering: So yeah, it was me. Other fun details are it was a black area and I went to show my friend who was an older black gentleman, but I'm so white it would hurt your eyes to look at me on a sunny day. The cops asked if I was down there for a...

He got a screaming deal and he keeps talking about how it doesn't make much power, while I'm watching thinking how it would transform my 318 'Net. I guess its all about where you are starting from.

Back in the 90s I knew a guy who got a used 85 Mustang GT and a couple of days later he went to show a friend in the Watts area. On a stretch of surface street he did around 80, and on a side street there were like 4 cop cars filled with trainers and cadets who instantly pulled him over and had...

No low balling I know what I have! :lol:

So 8 or so years later, only washed like twice not counting rain. The piece on the door is actually still shiny and somewhat reflective, but the hood that gets all the sun is roasted.
