I'm trying to keep the "stock look", you know, LS = Looks Stock, so I went with Trans-Dapt Performance Reproduction #TRD 9916. You can see them in the video in post #5.

Thanks Bruce!!

You do remember that every time I saw Dave he always asked me when I was going to sell my Nova to him. And I always told him that my son was going to get it when I'm "gone." To which he always replied, "I'll take care of your son"!!:shocked::tongue:

So, no guesses????:dunno: Well, to not keep you in "suspense" any longer.....

It took a little “tuning”, or should I say, parts “swapping” to make it all happen. The very first pull of the day was 511 hp and 510 tq, which I was excited to see. But it seemed like my "old" mechanical fuel pump wasn’t keeping up with the rpms, so they bypassed it with their fuel system. Also my distributor seemed to be “breaking up” so they installed one of theirs. After that it produced 549 hp and 517 tq figures!! I was really “pumped” at that point!!!
