The high today was 88 today, and when I came in from the shop it was 85 in the shop (@18:40). After a few hours working on the Falcon in the humidity belt, I called a buddy about adding A/C to the shop. I will NOT survive working on my toys in this humidity ladened environment...I’m to damn old & fat to sweat that much.

It’s been quite awhile since I updated this. I now have central HVAC in the shop #winner.




I finally got around to getting the motor running today...

Well, I’m getting even closer! I got the Lokar gas pedal assembly and brake pedal cover, shifter (this was a PITA due to the AOD & small tunnel), throttle & kickdown cables, Sniper throttle brackets all installed. Lokar should LOVE me!

I also finalized all the power & grounds. Put in the oe Monte Carlo bar, put on the grille and head light bezels...& THE HOOD ON!!!

Then...I drove it! Only about an 1/8th of a mile, because it’s still open header...& it is LOUD. But I drove it! First time in 2-1/2 years. I’m going to take it to the exhaust shop this week so I can tune the Sniper, confirm the TV cable is correct and check all the small stuff. Then I’ll start putting the interior back in it.

Here it is back together... I dig the LED headlights...


Motor as it sits today. The Holley Sniper EFI is pretty stealthy!

Taking it for exhaust tomorrow. Then I can tune the Sniper and adjust the tv cable pressure and such. Then I can get some interior back in it.

A pic to prove I’m moving forward!

Thanks Man!!!

I took it for exhaust today... sparks bein’ made! Ended up with 2-1/2” pipe, x-pipe and 3 chamber Flowmasters (because I’m from an era where Flows were the ShEeT).
