Finally a positive post on my car!!! We're riding!
« on: July 26, 2008 - 08:34:51 AM »
Thanks for all of the countless posts of people trying to help me diagnose my car. I started thinking while walking around Carlisle and said "$100 for a new engine harness, sweet!!" and after years of this hacked one in my car, not to mention my recent dable in electronics (its been sitting for 6mo's) I went for it!!

So, I worked 10pm Thursday Night to 5am Friday, slept till 11:30am and decided i was going to get it going. I stuck it in  :naughty: and took a ride around the block  :burnout: and no problems. So, i decided to head up to Shrewsberry for the Amish Market cruise.... about 50miles. It was sweet, felt so good to get out! I was on top of the world 
:woohoo:

So, i just wanted to let everyone know Im back on the show circuit!! Does anyone need a hacked up 71 ebody harness with electronic conversion kit in it? its not pretty but someone may be able to work magic with it. Its free.

I think I'll head to Marley Station tonight, MEK what are you doing tonight?   :burnout:

Jackie, I saw Shelby's car at the show last night, but no green Challenger........

Awesome for you Wally426ci!

Great to be cruising again.

I am taking my trans out tomorrow to swap in the 727, so i'll be down for the week waiting for a new shaft and the next weekend to button it up.

Tom :2thumbs:

I might do some big burnouts with this trans while it's still in there.LOL

So the gremlins running loose in your car were electrical? Great news to hear you got it running and are getting to enjoy your car again  :2thumbs:  More and more I am getting SO ready to just drive my car instead of work on it.
