A LITTLE PAINT ON THE 88 BIRD
While i was changing the injectors and fuel regulator.(she runs 100 % better) Idles great, terrific response!!!! I decided to put a little paint on her.
Thanks to fuelinjectionconnection@gmail.com
Talk to Jon....Great guy!!!!!!
She still has a ways to go. But she is gettin' there. A little at a time.
Let me know what you think.

P.S. Somebody put the stripped stock bolts back in the runners !!!!

Re: A LITTLE PAINT ON THE 88 BIRD
What spring is that on your throttle cable? I havn't seen that before I don't think. Does it serve a purpose?

Anyways, I love the paint, I think with black runners it would be even better. Then go for the valve covers.

Re: A LITTLE PAINT ON THE 88 BIRD
Hey thanks....That spring is just a little helper spring. The spring on the throttle body is weak, so when you let off the gas it still idles a little high. I will be installing my headers in a week or two. Maybe then I will do the valve covers.
