    Glad to see you got your car running, i sure do love it when you sell someone extra parts and they make good use for them..Good luck..that thing sounds mean.. what was your 1/4 time, also setup... got hp and torque numbers.. have you tried running an x pipe and tailpipes.. it gave me allot of low end torque after i put the new exhaust...it will leave you speachless in my opinion..

    I haven't taken it to the drags yet, I added a 3.42 posi from an S-10, it had a 2.73 in it.
    But, I am thinkin' the old rat motor will put the poor stock V-6 Saginaw four gear out all over the drag strip.

    :TU:

    By the way, what cam did you use? I got a '78 Skylark with a 455(stone stock '70) I was thinking about the 107 "Window Rattling Lope" cam for it.
