    Cleaned the shop after fighting the Tahoe for two weeks, and back at it on the GTO. If the 65 isn't ready to run by the time I need to leave for the cruise in Nebraska, I'll take the 68 or the 70 instead. Both of them are much closer to drivable.

    Why am I hearing Ronnie and the Daytonas in my head right now? (Pontiac guys and old-timers know what I mean).

    Yay Napa only took for days let than summit to get me two AN fittings. Now if I can get the Tahoe functional again, I can get the GTO going.

    Yeah I been trying to find the carbs. It's going to be awesome for what I'm building. Need a couple velocity stacks with filters to poke through the hood. Not the fastest thing ever, but it's sure cool looking.

    I'll see if the tuning has the range to increase it enough to run E85, that's a big part of why I wanted it. You'll know how it runs as soon as the last two fuel system fittings show up.

    Got another Holley from a friend today, now I have enough to use on this intake... It's not going on a GTO, this is a teaser.

    Used the force to lift the Tahoe... Hydraulic force since I'm not a jedi. Fuel leak and swapping a posi in the rear diff.

    Yeah she is lots of fun, taking her sons to the National event in Chicago in June. Well be their first time experiencing fuel cars. When I start on her car, I'll make a thread for it in here.

    Yes the girl I'm seeing bought a 72 Cutlass S, I'm rebuilding it for her. She bought almost all the exterior sheet metal and got me a few things to pay for labor in advance. A GTO hood for the 65, a dual quad intake last year, and I kid you not an EFI system. She is paid up on labor for most of the build, and I can get the GTO running awesome too. Finally meet a girl that doesn't expect me to buy her everything, best part is she lives in Chicago. Going to put the same EFI on her car if this one works out on mine.

    The pipes are my air line dryer, something I'm trying out. If it doesn't dry the air, I'll build a still out of it. l

    Does she have a sister? HAHA! Happy for you that you found a lady who shares your car passion.

    That stud gun is the cat's butt, no!!?? I have one I can borrow whenever I need it which is almost as good as owning one.

    Great work, as always.
