got the last summer driver out today. it just don't feel right pumping the gas pedal so much after years of e.f.i.. it felt good though driving a standard. $1.43lt high test, ouch.
brief bio; bought a hemi motor from a 69 r/runner with 700 miles on the re-build in new brunswick about 9 yrs ago. wasn't cheap but i had to have it. lol it sat in my shop for 3-4 yrs while i was doing the chevelle. a buddy was up from las angeles, westech performance, and gave a blast for it just sitting there. my reply was, you are in the part of the world with all the cars, find me one. 2-3 months later i get a phone call and he says, here is what i am looking at, 69 coronet/440/318ci/black plate and how much. me--buy-it. a buddy and i go get it and another car. another storey. lol
drove it around here for 2 yrs collecting parts and the rest is history. hemi/ tremec 5spd-std-od/moser dana6o/ etc-etc. side note; this isn't the trans to use for race app.
as usual some pic's

most excellent car, one of my favs. never been a fan of green, i think the army beat that out of me. just tell me its a pistol shift on that 5 speed. my opinion on efi, if i wanted it i would buy a new car.

i'm not putting efi down by any means. it has made life easier, BUT it's not old school.
"just tell me its a pistol shift on that 5 speed"
they say a picture is worth a thousand words. lol. excuse the mess but i was in the transition phase.
