first ride

Went for my first ride around the block tonight with my 88 bird 305 700r4, other than choking on fumes since the exhaust ends right under passenger floor seemed to run well on my short five min drive, now just have to wire up some gauges, verify my TV cable is hooked up correctly and get a drivers side window. Man it felt good to finally drive that thing, first drive in a third gen

It would be really nice to know just what you took around the block as in year/make/model/engine/transmission/where you did all this and so on.

Fill out your profile

Congrats on your first ride around the block in your 3rd gen whatever.............

Re: first ride

Definitely want to get that TV cable verified. An improperly set one can ruin a trans very quickly. Otherwise congrats on the drive
