I wouldn't get my hopes up..... It's sunny and cold here today with more snow predicted this weekend. I'm pretty sure it's heading your way after it finishes with us.

I switched from KYB's to Bilstein's as well.... Haven't got it on the road yet, but after finding that the KYB's had drained out over the winter, I decided that a good shock is worth the extra $$$.

I'd buy that for $5.00 !!!

Hey Dennis, Another thought.... Are there any kinks in the cable ? And, are the ends of the cable that mount to the controller and housing secure ? I'm talking about the little tab ends with the hole for the screw. Sometimes if they're loose, they'll twist and bind the cable. Just a thought you might want to check. Scott.

SHINY !!!! Welcome to the machine...

And you even got it on the correct arm !!!! SWEET !!!

Luckily you still have a few weeks until you're going to need a/c.... And there's always the cold beverage option.

Spent the weekend getting her ready for spring.... IF that every comes. lol Changed oil & filter, lubed the front end, re jetted the carb, chased that "mystery wire" down, pulled the rear seat.... and "no", there's no paperwork tucked in there. Put the re conditioned dash and battery back in, added a squirt of gas down the carb...... And "BINGO"!!! She fired right up. Now, just need to get the new tires on and wait out the snow the weather woman says is coming tonight.

Corrosion in the cable or on the "hinge" mechanism might be the problem. If you can get to them, a little penetrating oil might solve the problem.

Now you can more accurately line up on those squirrels..... lol

Still have snow predicted here next week.... But I've been using these warm spells to get ready for when it finally stays warm.

Hey Dennis.... I've got a question regarding the linkage you posted a photo of. When I swapped in the 200r4 into Montelishi, none of that linkage existed, except for the bracket on the frame. Everything is done by cable. Just wondering if this linkage was installed on all Montes..... Scott.

Try the challenge of aftermarket headers on a 350.... Then you'll really not like it... lol

So many projects..... lol Glad to hear you've finally gotten back to saving her. Welcome to FGMCC.

Hey Rob... IF memory serves, I believe that the rapidfire plugs were only compatible with H.E.I. type ignitions. Did try them in my 3.8 L Buick and they weren't bad, better than some of those multi tipped ones. Scott.
