Nice car Beth. Very cool to see a woman behind the wheel of a '69.

How do you like your TKO 600?

For the minimal amount we have driven it since it was put in, it's definitely better than the Saginaw 4-speed that was in it. I definitely like having a 5th gear.

Mine originally has a Muncie 4-speed but I plan on using the TKO when my build starts coming together.

Sorry Josh for hijacking your thread.

Haha, no worries, this is a free for all!

I love my TKO!! :thumbsup:

BTW, congrats Beth on getting the car on the road again, it's always an awesome feeling! I went though it this year again with my new motor updates. Now get out there and enjoy that bad boy this weekend! I live in a rural town but commute to the city with the car. Your last pic reminds me of my drive home...nothing beats tearing up the 2 lane blacktop in an old muscle car. Life doesn't get any better than that, does it?!?

Life is good! :thumbsup:

I am surprised at how quickly my fuel tank goes down! But who wants to drive slow when you've got a muscle car? :D

We really never had it on the road much to begin with since it was December when we bought it (and had just gotten 14 inches of snow). So I think we've put on more miles in the last week than the previous 7-1/2 months! Which is kinda sad, but we just had one thing after another to deal with until we found the cracked block. That was a depressing day. :willy: Just got the timing adjusted today (it was 5 degrees off) and now the new carb will need a little adjusting, but other than that, we should be good to go! Of course it would be nice to have our vintage air installed with this fabulous August heat & humidity. After all the mechanical stuff is adjusted, that's next!

But in all reality, all I'd need is a cool old car, a big block, a manual tranny and an open road! Life is good!

That's pretty awesome post Greg :lol:

Yeah - I was laughing to myself while typing it - because it really is the truth around my house anyway. We just maintain the don't ask don't tell... I have a great wife - and frankly my dear - she just doesn't give a damn (to steal an old line).
