The lopey idle of the Galaxie after headers, X-pipe, 40-series flowmasters, and top-end buildup of the 390!  This shot is from the rear of the vehicle.

New exhaust installed without the engine buildup.  Flowmasters sound great but the idle was too silky-smooth for me!  Now it's got a really lopey idle but this is a great video to watch and listen to for hear what Series 40 Flowmaster mufflers sound ...

Maintenance & Modification Logs

DateTypeMileageTitle / Description$ Amount
05/09/10Repair117000Replaced Starter & Repair Distributor
Had starting problems which led me on a wild goose chase of replacing the battery, having the distributor repaired, replacing battery cables, and replacing the starter.

New GM high torque starter Part # 3515GRH - $169.99
Distributor repair (Performance Distributors) - $145.00
New Optima Red Top battery - $125.00

03/13/10Modification114925K&N Air Filter
Purchased 14" K&N Air Filter #E1650 and a chrome air cleaner. Installed with barely enough clearance to spare between the air cleaner and the hood. 14" air cleaner also just barely clears the HEI-style distributor.

03/07/10Repair114680Fixed driver's side window regulator
Had a local mechanic replace the driver's side window regulator with a regular from a local salvage yard. It had broken a few months ago and the window was stuck in the "up" position.
