Drove it to my workout and back.

No ping....even romped on it a bit. Nothing. I think something about the cold air is making it lean out excessively. hmmmm

Today I installed a 34 tooth speedo gear to match the gears and tires better. I needed a 33 but did not have one on hand.

Edit: Forgot I also sprayed all the wheels, underside of the doors, inside the doors, and the rockers with fluid film, help keep the salt at bay.

Nice I like it.

I still need to respond to your email but I did look into those zl tires and they are 36" tall and I know you don't want to go that big. I will keep looking for tires for you.

Removed the nasty rust on the bottom of my driver's door and replaced the old weather striping to discourage more rust.

Gonna replace it with another Interstate?
I got an MTP27 in both the 76 and my Ram. Love them Interstates.

Oh hey there!

You know the drill, pictures!




What did I do? Nothing besides drive it. Haven't been spending money on it since the 76 has been tying that up......and I have a feeling it's not going to end well for me. lol :boxing:
