Reconnected the wire from the coil to my aftermarket tach that had come undone. Connected the dial light wire for my new radio. Did a little touch up painting along the top of the doors before I get my new window felts from Roseville on Tuesday.
In search of the eternal buzz!

Rick,

 Any advice I can give here I'll gladly do. You PM me about your electrical problems...Except if they involve an overhead console.   :faint:

Just picked up my exhaust manifolds after they were Ceramic coated.
They were coated Cast iron Grey and painted orange over.

Detailing the engine now and getting stuff ready to put it all back together.

Got my new Overdrive transmission and new clutch installed.  :clapping:

I still need to fine tune the shifter levers.  Second is a little tough to get into.
