    Finished putting on the 4bbl and Intake Manifold! :clap: i took it for a test drive last night and it is waaaay faster!!! and it runs really smooth! :yup:

    In this Project i had the ignition curved, put in a electronic ignition, Weiand Action Plus Intake Manifold, Holley 600cfm 4bbl, Lokar throttle/kickdown cables and a new air cleaner.

    i still havn't completly installed the kickdown, my MSD wires, "Powered by Ford" valve covers or the chrome exhaust tips LOL!

    Your welcome Matt, it gives me a thrill to see your car changing from its stock condition to a roaring street machine.

    Now dont go out and do anything stupid or dad will have your car:thumbs2:

    Or should we find him one of his own:16suspect
