Moving and lack of funds has it somewhat on the back burner. My current target is on the road with 4bbl swap, completed/improved exhaust, and some other detail things in late june.
I've also been meaning to post in one of the threads from when you were first sussing out the exhaust:
I think I tracked down my high RPM miss to a bad distributor cap. Not for sure, but I swapped it out and it didn't buck or miss noticeably the 2-3 more times I drove it after that. Then the gas tank puked it's guts and she went into hibernation.

waiting for install: 3.27's, Poly bushings, boxed rear arms, 2500 stall converter, ported e7's, etc

did you get a new fuel tank? i found another wrecking yard thats smaller, but they keep the fuel tanks with the cars. when i was there in beggining of march, there was a mint '86 country squire(blue on blue) with nice undercoated fuel tank. not many box cars but lots of aeros and whales.

Plz forgive my lack of memory. Why can't you get classic plates for the CV? You have a DD Prius right?

Originally posted by johnunit View PostClassic plates cannot be daily driven, driven to work, etc, and you get into issues with the catch-22 of regular insurance companies being reluctant to cover classics and classic companies flatly refusing to have anyone under 25 on a policy. Even if I managed to get a classic-plated car on a policy with a regular insurer with tight but reasonable mileage restrictions I wouldn't save much money.

i pay around $100/ car with state farm. having classic plates is a waste of time in this province. its basically only good for trailer queen stuff. they shove a ton of restrictions up your ass.

Originally posted by packman View PostThe under 25 part is (would have been for me............a long long time ago) a killer. I guess you drive the DD Prius in crap weather and DD the CV in decent weather? I wish I had followed a friend's advice and parked my malibu when I was younger. I just realized a few years ago how many headaches I woulda saved if I had a dedicated DD and a weekend toy.
