TheJMan> Thanks man, she's up and running and sounds like a beast. We started her back up for the first time monday and while I was seeing if she was running rich by standing by the back tailpipes my friend opened her up wide and it was one of the few times I've actually cringed from how loud something was. It brought a big smile to my face.
I really like the wagon for some reason. Usually not my cup of tea but for some reason I like this one.
bscar> That's one hot chevelle man. A friend of mine has a 68 with a 454 in it and it's a friggin monster. I had a 78 Thunderbird a while back till I drove it off a bridge... I guess since it was a boat I thought it deserved to be in the water and not on land. Oh how wrong I was about that. It was a great car with a 351 Windsor in it and it ran strong. It had to be in a straight line to do it but it ran strong.
