Re: Freshly rebuilt original firebird iron duke

It ran horrible on the drive home when I first bought it from birmingham to atlanta drove it about a week around here to realize i need to take her apart

I order a reman head and went to work, but she cranked up no problems and you can tell the engine breaths much better all it needs is dual exhaust

Re: Freshly rebuilt original firebird iron duke

Gonna hook the A/C back up? Might tax the gerbils a bit, but it would bring the car back to its original pristine condition.
