Re: 68 S/C update.....

Dang!....I need to pay more attention. Really looking good Rob.....gonna have a bunch of hp and decent mileage to boot....if you can keep the "go" pedal off the floorboard!!! Hard to beat LS motors for the potential performance and efficiency.

Thanks Jim! It's slowly getting there. I didn't get much done today, checked all the fluids again, installed a new set of MSD plug wires and played around with my new OPTIMA battery charger. For you guys and gals that like instagram, my look me up, hart_rod is my screen name. Just click on this:
