Not too bad of a video for an 10-year-old HP 2.3MP camera.

Thanks again for helping out and scoring those parts cars - I think they'll be huge for getting ours back together again. ::thumb::

Congratulations Eric! Was really cool talking to you two last night.

Right back'atcha, Brutha!

You know Doc, with the exception of some chrome and a little bit of [different color] paint (we won't talk about my "bait box fuse box"), it pretty much IS the same engine as yours. Thanks for blazing the trail with CompCams - your efforts to find the right cam and get yours dialed in was a HUGE inspiration for how mine turned out. ::thumb::

Cool!!! now you need to get it on the road!!

Yup-Yup! I feel like I'm a LOT closer to that, now that it actually runs. Thanks again for all the years [literally] of encouragement, guys! ::thumb::

You know it! Mine's a factory Ram-Air car... already got the hood and plenum. Just need an air cleaner & seal now.

(edited to show the original Ram Air hood - with hood locks, I might add )

I had forgotten how rusty it was. What mufflers are you running again?

 

[Mister 4x4]

They came with the Pypes 2.5" X-pipe stainless exhaust system from Summit Racing. I believe they're the "Street Pro" series that came with the kit. I remember wanting to get the "Violators," but I don't recall there being much of a difference in the exhaust note when I heard them both on videos. I also believe the "Street Pros" are a little cheaper if you buy them outright, as well.
