The car? Well... it's a whiter shade of pale, of course!!!
Or the air box? That's a grayish shade of aluminum!!
Csaba, yes! Ran it at different rpm for 30 minutes, stopped and checked everything and have now ripped it around the block a few times. Running great and no more smoke! Wow is she zippy!!!
Pat, I have the motivation for sure. It's available time I sorely lack!
Thanks Neil!!
And Feltner Used Fiat Partz!! Great to have you back in the fold!

Re: Edit... Resto mod FIRST DRIVE
Not to double up on posts while I do but please know that aside from what ever entertainment you all get from my trials and tribulations...
I keep posting here because I want the complete story in one place.
So, with the ring screw up resolved I have earnestly started my education on tuning the dual 44s. I have posted in the IDF Tuning guide with questions and as usual, received great information.
If you miss it there, here is a video of my progress.

Still more to do but sounding and looking better.
And almost 3 years into it, I'm still having fun and learning something new at every turn! What more can I ask for?

Thanks Ari!
It does sound good doesn't it? I may never be able to get it to absolute perfection but I fell good about getting it close and it should be a load of fun!!
