    put in a petronixs electronic unit in my distributor.
    Idle much nicer now to find someone to run the car up to high rpm to check total advance.

    Still fabricating a new grill... wish I weld aluminum because the steel I'm using is really tacking on the pounds.

    I hear that from my GF all the time, "Aren't you finished with that car yet?". It's not a project, it's a hobby. You'd think she would realize that after I've had it for 41 years...

    Jeff, Mike and Tim came by today...

    we hung the tank under the Mav. and then went to lunch.
    we went to Macons Baby Janes, food and service was great...:thumbs2:
    got back and put gas in the tank and fired it up...pouring down rain so didn't get to road (smoke) test it.
    now on to next project...
