    wirings not that bad Nate... at least you zip tied them together to the side instead of sprawling them over the ledge.
    And if you say its still "in progress" you can get away with a mess for a little bit Just loom the speaker wires together and tuck everything under the carpets. Getting the speaker wires away from zig-zagging over the power wires might help with the noise too.

      This is why I like having a car with a rough looking body...I don't have to worry about getting it dirty.

                Mopar's were "sure grips" and early Ford limited slip rears were called "equa lock". Never heard of twin grip...

                That was a nice vid Nate; the car sounds really awesome.

                        Oh, by the way, I finally got a tach wired in on this thing, in a rather temporary sort of way, and I discovered that WOT shifts are at 4500 RPM. Police cars didn't get HO governators or something, did they?

                              4500 sounds like the mid-speed governator. Normal lopo one is like 4200-4400ish. 3700 sounds like the governer is shot.

                                Nate that sounds awesome, gonna be so nice when your 4bbl setup is done. I'm guessing you're gonna redo the exhaust too.
