Thank you! I love the car as it is currently setup. I get a lot of nice comments regarding the sound of the idle from both young and old down here in Florida.

I also noticed that. I figured it out. I posted this twice. Once here and over in the 77-81 firebird section. It was moved to this section and the original is still posted down below My fault for posting twice.
