Talking LilBird Lives!!!!

Well after a 10 year Hibernation, and correcting alot of mental mistakes, and problems that developed by sitting in the gaurage for 10 years!!!! The 301 CU OHC-6 with its new cam, wheel cylinders, starter, water pump, and rear axle seals. ( I was begining to thinl the car hated me!!!!!) It finally started up Sunday, Broke in the cam, adjusted the cam & ignition timing, and test drove it yesturday!!!!

The car has a 301 CI engine with a GMC forged crank, Clifford Headers, true duels with a X pipe, T-5 five speed manual trans, 4.10 posi 12 bolt axle. It looks like all of the V-belt alignment issues caused by using the SBC Fluid dampner are finally solved correctly, I had no issues with belts rolling over or coming off above 4000 rpm yesturday.

Still have to put an electric choke on the Q-jet, and hook up the hood tach. Once warmed up the engine idles great at 750 RPM, and revs well to 5300 RPM, but I think that is about all she has, the HEI seems to finally be set up correctly. Just in time for the dream Cruise!!!!

The seats and the steering wheel were all donated from the same 85 Firebird S/E
