[QUOTE="Tob, post: 12362391, member: 83412"] I had one and have totally forgotten about it. A '75 that my father bought at an auction as a graduation present when I finished college. It was [I]well [/I]broken in. It had 3.73's in a 10 bolt posi, panhard bar, torque arm, four speed, buckets, etc. I had a problem (as did everyone else) with the fuel injection. Upon deceleration, the 'pulse air injection system' would suck raw fuel and inject it directly into the full length stainless steel header. I was blowing flames 5 to 10 feet at the tail pipe exit - at will. That little bastard would scream to about 9,000 rpm. I blew the engine one day on a nearby highway, shifted to neutral, then back into gear to re-fire the engine and drove it home. I pulled the complete engine by myself, by hand from inside the engine bay, set atop the fender, then carefully climbed out and set it on the ground. I shit you not. Bent the steel crank (wich I had 'straightened') and needed to get the block sleeved. Yanked the fuel injection and bolted on a custom manifold with a pair of Weber carbs from Hutton Motor Engineering. That little POS was an absolute screamer. And a POS.;-) RIP old buddy! [/QUOTE]
