Although this is an old photo, it still looks exactly like this!!  A while back I was able to bolt some part back onto the engine, but it's still far from being together so it sits on the engine stand. My goals are still to just this thing back together so I can drive it!!

BTW - Hello Everyone!!

Hi!  Good to see you back here!

[roadking77]

Same to you Charlie, and what Mike said.

What they ^ said Charlie. Nice to hear from you!

Front and rear PTFB GT suspension (springs), new gas tank and sender, new lower arms and new tubular upper arms with the longer PTFB ball joints. Koni shocks all around.  PTFB aluminum solid body bushings.  Alignment and shims this morning.  Trying to ready it up for FirebirdFest 4 in a week.  Still have a few things I want to do to it before the trip.

Mike, that’s a pretty serious suspension upgrade. When you get a chance I would love to hear your critique on the changes to handling and ride.

Current photo. Got the steering gear box all connected. Now going through the car for a good lube and safety check.

320 miles today at FirebirdFest.  So far I think it’s the best investment I’ve made with this car.

Did you just replace the sender with a stock unit?  Do you have any needle fluctuations as you drive?  Mine seems to move about 1/4 tank back and forth as I drive.

I got home from 4 days of driving (FirebirdFest is a blast- I highly recommend it if anyone is interested in a show where you DON'T sit by your car all weekend, but actually take it on daily drives) and can give a report.  Yes, I bought a stock gas tank and sender from Firebird Central.  The gauge doesn't bounce around.  I checked mileage every time I fueled up (averaging almost 15 on road and town combined.  I decided to really test it on our way home yesterday.  I usually fill up at 1/4 tank.  Always have with all my cars, and did so this whole trip.  It would take right around 15 gallons, which is right for a  +/- 21 gallon tank.  On the way home, I ran it until the needle was thisclose to the uh-oh mark    19 gallons later, it was full.  So yes, it is (so far) accurate at any level and doesn't float around.

Sounds like a lot of fun Mike. Good to hear about the tank and sender. Fbird central is where I got mine from

I am envious of your trip with FirebirdFest and agree a real drive is a lot more fun than sitting parked at a car show. Last Saturday my local Pontiac club had a cruise from our monthly meeting to a drive in dinner. Next month we have a cruise and picnic at a state park, probably a good 150 mile drive. While nothing like your experience, I am slowly getting comfortable with the idea of really driving my car.

Thank you for the info!!!
