Thats just about perfect sir! Very well done and congrats on the perfect addition to your clean car! Very nice setup you have there and I love to see a well maintained car.

Only thing I'd do if (I) were you would be put an aftermarket wheel on and go a bit wider for appearance mainly(since you are obviously not looking for just performance gains). Other than that, your setup is ideal to me for a reliable street car that is going to last

Job well done!!!

BTW, did you use that tool to compress all of the springs??? I'm assuming you used air to keep the valves up while you compressed the springs with this home made tool? Sorry for my ignorance, but it looks like a very simple and merely painless way to do this unless of course I'm missing something.

Now get those dyno numbers up!!!

Nice to know there are still a few of us original owners of our discontinued fbodies.
Ouch! I'm not a trained mechanic, so I sweated bullets the night before I started mine.
Yes, I spent a lot of time looking a rims years ago, but never found any that I liked better than these factory chrome. I just like their style, even if they are 16". SO instead, I put my money into boltons, suspension and now this cam. As for tire width, I can barely break my GY Eagle F1 GSDs loose as it is.
Yes, the tool worked very easily on all cylinders. I took the pic of #8 since it's the hardest to get at. I don't have a compressor, so I used the TDC method to keep the valves from falling. Larry posted a pic and dimensions of his tool in one of the threads. The piece of aluminum that I had laying around was a bit shorter, so it worked well riding on a socket as shown. Good luck.

Thanks again everyone for your feedback. Now I need to post the SURPRISING numbers in the Dyno section!!

I have 16" factory chrome snowflakes on my car they still look good. Nothing wrong with the factory sleeper look.

take the car and camera to an area where you can hold the throttle open like a man want to hear it scream didnt pay all that money to drive it like grandmas buick.

lol Dude it's an idle clip of my DD. If I ever take it to the track I'll post that too.
Yeah, I've never understood the "sleeper" concept. As soon as you put headers on, even with a catted Y, everyone in traffic, or at the intersection knows your there...So sleeper?
Even on the freeway, people seem to pull ahead or fall behind rather than listen to my drone. So it may look stock, but it sure doesn't sound sleeping.
