    it all started with the purchase of a 390 from the junkyard for 250.00.the engine is a brand new rebuild domed pistons, ported heads . big cam ,but i just found some maple seeds in one cyl. so i am going to tear the motor down to check it before ido final install .mouse pee is very corrosive stuff!

    Does the horn work on that steering wheel? If it does work and you decide to replace the wheel with something a little more sportier let me know .. I'd be interested in buying it ... Thanks ...

    being fat i may put a removable hgub on the steering wheel. i will let you know on the wheel. my neighbor had a coimet and says he has some take off parts from it i have to get with him and see what he has. i am buying all the stock tires and rims from him.
