So I haven't been able to do a start up vid yet but attached is a very brief driving vid, I'm trying to figure out what the loud chirping is on acceleration! The EFI gurus have come up empty handed, I did put a larger alternator on it at the same time that is making a bit of a squeaking noise internally at idle so I might put the old one back on briefly to test it

Ok so the chirping bird is fixed!!!!! It was the Alternator!!! A new Tuff Stuff unit, the bearings are fantastic, it's some internal noise :dunno: I put the old 55A alt back on it and no noises

Picked up some alignment tools. This set will run caster/camber/toe.

Well not today, but last week, I dragged my dash pad off to Fed Ex to ship off to be redone.
Hopefully it gets delivered OK.  :fingerscrossed:
Other than approving a big charge on my credit card for the work, that's probably the last E body chore I'll be doing for some time.  We've gotten into a brutally cold weather pattern here and the cruising season seems like a long long time off.  Hopefully my pad gets done and back in time to not delay my getting the car out and enjoying it right away when the weather warms!
If I get ambitious I suppose I should see about getting my clock fixed so it shows the correct time more than twice a day when I get the dash put back together.  :banana:

Longacre makes really nice stuff. This is on the low end, cost wise, but looks like it'll do. I like having the toe plates around. [$200]

Scheduled a video shoot over the weekend and it was 12 degrees for the morning start.  They did two videos, one on my Cuda and one on my buddies '73 TA 455, gorgeous car!

Life is to be viewed thru the windshield. Not rear view mirror.
You are the only one in charge of your destiny.

If both are real, that's a 1-of12 Hemicuda convertible next to a 1-of-8 69 Trans Am convertible!
