Passed inspection this morning. Mounted and installed those Nitto 555's that were blocking most of my garage for a week. About to drag out the floor jack to do rear rotors & pads. Then it'll be BrewskyTime!

Tucked mine safely away in the garage and prayed that it didn't end up in OZ as we had tornado's roll through this evening.

drove mine to a cruise in and another black LT1 T/A parked right next to it. The other one was a non ram air car with 16" wheels. It looked almost exactly like what my car did when i bought it 6+ years ago.

I put gas in it yesterday and proceeded to put another 115 miles on it. I put 115 miles on it every day and fill it up every 3 days.

Getting the back right side manifold bolt was the most difficult as the trans tube is right there. And getting a torque wrench on the rear four bolts was no picnic.

The PCV tube kit comes with a new PCV valve that’s in the center, by the fuel crossover. The heat sock on the back is from my spark plug set from my long gone ‘94 Formula. Hopefully, the T-fitting back there won’t get brittle from the heat again.
