Big Day Today...

["Plywoodchicken" <petriew@xxxx>]

I'm finally working on the Gremlin again (its been way too long). I 
had to get other obligations out of the way first.

Anyway, my friend Garry and I timed it and while doing so, I had a 
fuel leak. I turned off the car after a few nice revs (hard to 
resist doing this with open hedders, heh), and I heard a pffft pffft 
noise coming from under the car. I almost crapped cuz I had fuel 
spraying right onto the hedder where the exhaust was coming out! 
Thankfully it was timed well enough that I had no fire or I might not 
be writing this today.

Anyway, I ordered my exhaust today (be here tomorrow). Flowmaster 
series 40s with Delta flow. As Bart is a big fan of these, I must 
admit I did it only for the sound they make, 2.5" duals will flow 
nicely for a 300hp engine. I'm only using this for street so its all 
good. Can't wait to get them installed with an 'H' or 'X' pipe.

I also took my rad in to be cleaned and patched (nasty scaly 
inside). I didn't want the car overheating on her maiden voyage (I 
don't think I'd like being embarrassed like that).

I also had to buy new gaskets for my carb cuz it was pissing gas all 
over the intake (after I got the previous leak fixed).

Lastly, I took in my rear window latch and "gremlin man" locking gas 
cap to be re-keyed to the same as my doors.

Next thing after exhaust is new front tires.


I'm almost scared to drive it... I can tell by revving it up in the 
garage that the old 360 has got a lot of guts. Its going to be 
fuuuuun!

I'll try to keep y'all updated.
