    Sorry... I thought you bought your old one back for a minute there.. my bad:rolleyes: Feel like a C.R.S. victim, I blame old age.
    Or your sig pic threw me...dunno what it was to be honest.
    I so wish I knew who did buy it though... makes me wonder.

    I like the new one my friend (y) Same green as my favorite chairs from 77.
    Looks better on the maverick by far though :D

    Can't wait to see what you dream up for this build. :bouncy:

    or....you could call it, WASTE-Yo-Money...haha..um anyways...i like it,starting another build thread? did it come with all 4 mags? of just the ones on the back on it...absolutely love those rims, hence why i have a set on my car:yup:

    anyways..all i got accomplished today was put the timing correct as i managed to screw it up and put it out 180degree's..still on the search for plug wires that will work!

    Come on it's not a Comet!!:D Had to do that one, it was wide open!!!
    Just the two rear mags is all it's got, I can make you a deal on them for spares!!
    Yep I guess I will delete the old Mo' Money build thread and start another for Yo' Money.

    Np Big, I do suffer from C.R.S.. as far as who bought my old Grabber, I'm thinking we may find out one day, this one will be the green Street Beasts HotWheels Grabber.

    Installed the billet PCV valve from Summit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BSP-22120

    The plunger ALMOST makes it to the top of the valve with 15 in Hg vacuum on idle. Its definitely closer to the top than with the previously installed valve. Had to turn the idle up so guess that's a sign its passing less air than before. I'll try it for a while. Might take it apart later and cut a coil off the spring if that would move the plunger up higher on idle and reduce air flow.
