I haven't been contributing much to the site lately... It's time for me to improve the handling and drivability of the 55. I only drove it 2-3 times this year and it's a waste, could be a really cool and fun car. The car has multiple issues that make it slightly unsafe and not fun to drive. It handles lik...

Long time since I wrenched on my baby. Health issues made me let her sit for a decade. Time to get going on this. Health is finally good enough to spend half a day in the garage. Tearing into the Muncie today to see what she needs for rebuild/replacement.

The 406 is done, Mike Lewis did the parts list, Mark Jones built, and checked everything. Mike had a long lead time, so Mark was willing to put me in line. It came out great. Mark Witener did the billet HP1000, but MJ did not have smaller BLP jets to lean it out more. [img]https://i.imgur.com/jW6Dmgbl.j...
