The obvious next question is... single or twins?

turbohf · « **Reply #4 on:** April 26, 2015, 05:12:22 PM »

we will have to see how AJ does

ratcityrex · « **Reply #5 on:** April 26, 2015, 05:14:24 PM »

Mine is getting twins. Because I already have them. If I was to do it again, I would have done a single.

turbohf · « **Reply #6 on:** April 26, 2015, 09:24:44 PM »

took a shitton of pics... looks like some came out dark... ehh...

Nova porn...

found an HEI distributor back there.

put the PLX in.

Edelbrock 1406 is tuned pretty nice. 13.5-14.7 idle depending on how she feels. and like solid 14.5 freeway. only did a couple quick pulls, afrs bounced around some but seemed like 11.7. might need some WOT tuning lol.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #7 on:** April 26, 2015, 09:29:56 PM »

Looks real solid. Now it's time to check the timing curve to make it really come alive.

turbohf · « **Reply #8 on:** April 26, 2015, 09:54:17 PM »

1) Move battery to trunk
2) Place $650 S475 where battery was
3) Profit

Win! I wanted one for a while but been holding back.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #12 on:** April 27, 2015, 04:34:29 PM »

It's just a civic of the 60's

turbohf · « **Reply #13 on:** April 27, 2015, 06:05:43 PM »

looks like a bulge on the A...

and this one by the driveway seam.

think that's my vibe/bounce? that safe? seems this is odd tire size.

these wheels worth much? fronts littlerly have brand new tires. I might just buy new wheels. like 16" Corvette Rallye's

yes. lol. its not that I don't like it. its that I like the more sleeper/less muscle car look. buddy did find me a hell of a deal on a 72 tho. almost thought about it.

see i have been having a problem finding tires. seems to be only 1 that exists in this size, or close. for 14" wheels... but i need to be looking for 15" rallys or buy some new custom 16" rallys.

speedo, and fuel. thats all GM seen fit...

and i put my PLX M300 wideband in.

Fuck rally wheels, this isn't 1970!

It should have generic 5x4.75" (120.7mm), so almost any Caramo/Vette rim will fit. Go back on CL and hunt down a set of 16's or 17's, they actually look good on those old cars. They also make the car handle WAY better since you don't have 10" of sidewall to fold over.

My brother in law has a 98 540i with some 17" m5 replica rims on his car. Trying to talk him in to coming over so I can test fit them on my car.
