Him and my father were childhood friends. They retired him early because he got hit by a car(I think while on duty). He is working at Richies Gun shop right now. Just bought a shotgun off him. Killer deal.:oogle:


I had no idea we had a bricker is westport. That car must be a blast to drive.
 
No Turbo Yet:-D




got it running again on the MSD 6al box today but the fuel pump still doesnt want to fire like 90% of the time. if it sits it will work and run fine. then after its shut off the fuel pump wont fire again. spoke to someone about it and they said something about a resistor. i think im going to just run the msd as a standalone and use a toggle switch for the fuel pumps, instead of using the relay. i can do that right? the in tank pump has 3 wires going to it. so ill have to figure that out.

heres a clip of the 4-2-1 header 2.5 straight no cat to flowmaster. Test clip. NOT DONE. running on the MSD 6AL. K cam sounds good.
