    put my exhaust back on. Now she is louder and sounds like a horse galloping. I think its almost time to just part her out. Yeah she saves me gas cause i aint driving her, but what I dont spend in gas I spend double to triple in dam parts.

    That's what I was hoping. I'd rather it be that than the piston rings......... Not that I'll be able to do them anytime soon....

    Tried doing valve stem seals. Completely failed. I did one and it took two hours to get the spring off then the keepers back in. It's going to a shop or a scrapyard. The piston rings leak because the air compressor ran non stop hovering around 40psi while connected to the cylinder.

    I just put a distributor on mine with no success with her running any better. I think this is going to be the last carbd car that I buy.

    Red/black would probably look good... seems like I've seen that somewhere recently ^^^

    I love the white/black on mine, with the black bumpers and grill, still need to do the headlight trim black though. I will probably do that when I have the bumper off installing horns (as per my own advice a few posts back :lol
