First Update--First Pics!!!
Well...you may remember I recently returned from the Persian Gulf and while I was gone took the opportunity to have the following done to the '78
(ok...actually I did a lot of it when I got back...but HAVING it done was the plan)
Started COMPLETELY stock
New radiator (old one was rusted...disuse?)
New AC (converted)
ZZ4 with fastburn heads
Hedman headers
True dual exhaust (oops!...forgot to reattach the cats!!)
Level 2 200-4R Bowtie tranny
Edelbrock Pro-Flo Multi-Point EFI (PS...fits fine on stock hood with drop base...)
New paint...complete strip, take car apart, paint, and put back together
While apart, replaced all the weather stripping
I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff...
Working on...
quartz clock conversion
dead antenna (will prob go with hidden...but I should have thought of that and filled in the antenna hole before the paint!!)
Glovebox stereo with Dynamat etc...(glovebox so I can keep it looking original...original stereo still works like a charm...gotta start collecting 8-tracks!)
Here are a couple of finished pics...notice the license plate? :D

Re: First Update--First Pics!!! (6318)
I like it. You have done a nice bit of work on your vette. How does the Edelbrock Pro-Flo Multi-Point EFI perform for you. I have been thinking of going to something like this in the future.

Is 6318 your job classification?
I've seen the car in person, Eric has put a lot of work into it and it's going to be awesome when he's done :yesnod:

Re: First Update--First Pics!!! (Eddie 70)
I like the Pro-Flo.
Very easy install...started up the first try (ok...let me qualify...started up first try AFTER I remembered to order the chip!)
Programming can be as simple or as complicated as you like and is very user friendly...
I'd recommend it...but then again, never tried anything else!
