Glad to see this great forum is still around.
First got on here in 2004 and last visited in 2018.
I'm the 2nd owner of a 1978 Trans Am, which I have not touched in eons.
My situation has now changed, since I am able to move the car into a shop building where there will be room to work on it.
Aired up the tires this morning, rounded up various parts, will have the car moved soon.
I'm sure I will have questions to ask.

Welcome back!


Have any pics of the TA?


:)

Welcome.

Haven't managed to load a pic yet, don't know why.

It's a little tricky if you haven't done it for a while....
 

When you are submitting a post or a reply:

Scroll down to 'Additional Options'

Click on the RED oblong 'Manage Attachments' and a small window will pop-up.

Then click the box at the top left that says 'Browse ...'.

Find the picture you want to upload and double-click on it.

The name of the file will show to the right of the 'Browse...' button.

Click the RED 'Upload File' button to the right of the file name.

Then click 'Close this window' at the top right of that pop-up window.

To verify that it's the picture you want to share, click on the RED 'Preview Post' button to the right below the 'Post Icons' box.

If everything looks good, click the RED 'Submit Reply' button and you're done.

Getting ready for the move

The double tap was the key, thanks!

It has a 455 in it with a 1968 intake manifold.

Well that one didn't work

Here's the original 400.
It had 117k on it when I got it, and I put an additional 10k on it when I used it as a daily driver in 2006.
I'll make some better pics soon.

Pretty sure it was this forum where a guy was building headers for Pontiacs.
Got this beautiful set from him, definitely wanting to run them.
Been a long time, don't recall his name.

Those look like tri-y headers. Maybe made by Ron Watt?

That name sounds familiar!!
He still around?

Not sure if he still is in business or not. . I got a set from him probably at least 15 years ago, great headers.

Pretty sure Ron Watts has crashed and burned again (for about the fifth time)
 

He hasn't been active on FB for over a year and any posts about him are met with VERY negative recent experiences.

We got about seven or eight sets of Tri-Ys from him along the way, but he still owes us one set at this moment.

We're writing it off to experience. Too bad - he made a good product when he wanted to or was able to.
