Participating in my first car show tomorrow. I made display board for people not in the know.

Nice work! It`s great to finally get the car out and enjoy it after years of working on it. I like the show board as well, it`s different than most you see.

It was written by an engineer in datasheet format.

Congratulations! I just read the entire thread and I’m suitably impressed. The car came out great and I agree with previous posters that it is really cool to see a sport satellite out there. Lots of roadrunners and GTXs, not enough satellites!

1970 Hood Signal Restoration. Originally the hood call-out was just that. It didn’t have the factory indicator openings. So they needed to be opened. Used my Dremel with a carbide cutter after opening up. Used the lines from the casting.

Light housings were in poor shape but after careful cleaning they looked decent for their age.

New wiring and bullet connectors with and LED replacement and custom amber lens set up. Rubberized sealed LED holders. Wasn’t easy but really rewarding.

All works great and looks factory.

Well the 340 developed some vibration. I balanced my tires then had my drive shaft balanced and put on a new yoke and all new ujoints. It never however vibrated in park/ neutral but recently would vibrate at 3000 rpm and get worse with more rpms.
So I started digging and not like what I was finding. I found the cam woodruff key in the oil pan. This engine had high cylinder compression about 210 psi and an unknown cam with lots of overlap. It’s been difficult to tune and required a lot of retarding to hold off on detonation. So not well behaved for an automatic. So out it comes and time for a rebuild.

Are you cracking out the paint gun for the engine bay while it's out?
Extra work that you don't need I'm sure, but there's no better opportunity.

For those interested I have created my 904 A transmission overhaul over at abodies since there are many with 904’s there to help me if and when I get stuck.
