Turns out that if you dont tighten suspension parts, the car feels awfully skittish.

Is other news:

Last night was the furthest it has moved in YEARS. I was so excited i was shaking. 

I still have a grin on my face this morning.  And it was only about a mile round trip!

My first car purchase was a '72 Demon with a 318 & A904... Glad to see yours rolling again!

That's the straightest Duster I think I've ever seen.  I don't think they were that good straight out of the factory.

I used to have a '73 Dart Sport, so these A bodies get me excited. The pro touring aspect makes it even better. Nice car.

Thanks y'all. Im pretty happy with how it's turning out. 

And really, other than tuning and possibly front seats, i can't think of anything that i need to address big picture wise. Bunch of little details and sorting before power tour next year.

What's really sad is that it hasn't been washed in 4 or 5 years. Trying to wait until kinks are worked out before giving it a good detailing.

West came by again tonight. He's pretty sure I'm still having ignition trouble however the car already drives almost as well as it ever did with a carburetor. He's debating now whether to have me order and MSD distributor to go with my MSD box and bypass all the GM stuff. Well he's debating that it's time for me to wash and wax it for the first time in years.

Dunno abou weather. Supposed to be 100 degrees with 90% humidity tomorrow.....

 

Found a home of the msd box. Under the console. 

Now to get it wired up!

A lot of you may know that its been an uphill fight with megasquirt. Noise and synch loss and....

But its fixed. I eliminated timing control with a 150 msd streetfire box, and a 250 msd distributor. 

Weve been working on autotune. 14 miles tonight, with the car running better and better. 

Right up until it broke the alternator belt and tossed the power steering belt. 

Whoops. Guess i need to revisit the alternator alignment. 

But, we're finally on the path to success and recovery!

Additionally it has developed a speed related nasty vibration at about 60mph. Im thinking driveshaft angle.

Need to get a working tach as the tach output on this box is being used for megasquirt, and they apparently dont like split signals. 

Also need to rework throttle linkage. Pedal feels funny under my boot.

Ive already got a speedhut in the dash that i paid dearly for. So hopefully I'll find a way to use it.
