Alright so yesterday I finally got a chance to try and time it. Only problem is my timinglight is messed up so I have to get a new one. It would start to backfire after 15 seconds but run ok, with an idle of 1500-1800. Couldn't give it gas at all. So I check all my wires and their sending spark and checked all my plugs. Turns out 3 of them aren't sparking.

So I'm gettin 3 new plugs and hoping that helps. I'm also going to pick up a new timing light. Other than that, haven't had much progress. As soon as I get this thing running, I'm going to work on the body work like no other so I can get to driving it!

Obviously the box isn't done yet. But those are my subs and amp that's going in the car.



So it turns out my car was origonally white on top, silver on bottom, with a red stripe.

It's not hooked up right now, but I will be hooking it back up before the summer. I have to get a new condenser as of right now.

For now, White. Possibly with some pear in it. I'm pretty sure I'm going to replace the vinyl stripe around the molding. I'm not sure on this one yet, but I might go with orig white/silver theme.

I really wanted to do red, but I've got red interior so that was a no go. I also thought maybe black, but being my first time doing body work it would show more. Hopefully it turns out good though.
