After 8 years she runs!!!!

[innerware]

So, I have been a bit over worked the last year and haven't had any time for the car. (But I just finished my Masters in Design) My 77 I bought a year ago now has been sitting virtually untouched since then exept some body work and to determine it needed new fuel injectors to start. Prior to me getting it it sat for 7 years properly. Well, since my 78 is now my parts car and all the parts are only a few years old I started swapping stuff yesterday. Amazingly enough once the new injectors were on I cranked it over to find out that I have an awesome running car. YEAH!! I was so excited since it sat for so long. I did give it all new oil last summer when I got it and a new fuel pump too. But that was really all the work it got. No black smoke, no exhaust smell, no misfiring or stumbles, just nice smooth Z power. Anyway it has sparked new love in working on it. Which is good since I have a month to swap all the parts off the old one onto this one before I move cross country. Anyway, my wife is sick of hearing about it and I needed to tell people who care about this sort of thing.

 

Thanks all,

Kyle

Congrats!

Just don't get sucked into the "while I'm at it" syndrome or that month will be over before you know it.

Thanks. The while I'm at it syndrome will come later. For now she just needs to be pieced together to run so I can drive it to a place and have it shipped. I just can't believe how good it sounds.
