All I can say is, WOW! Ray did a phenominal job on the car. We didn't get to the suspension work due to having to spend more time on the engine than planned, but, that can come in a later time.
Ray rebuilt, rejeted and bored the carb, readjusted the valves, retorqued the cam tower (since it needed it) installed the electronic ignition system and fixed a few wiring problems. Apparently, my car has had a wire fire with the previous ignition system and the previous owners just did a bad wiring quick fix. thanks to Ray, That's all taken care of.
it's like a whole new car! she's running super fast, super clean, and smooth as a silk sheet. not much to see at the moment since there wasn't any visible workings going on really, but I'll try and get some pics up after it stops raining here. I can't thank Ray and Lorrie from performanceapex.com enough. the work is awesome and they are some of the friendliest and helpful people I have ever met.
I also picked up a set of rims. they need a little TLC, but I've already started working on them. here's a before shot of one of them. I'll get photos of during and after when I'm done.
