Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)

Probably could do with an update. I just need to collect what we've done recently. We've replaced the ill-fitting 6 cylinder wiring harness with an American Autowire classic update kit. We also installed an American Autowire torque converter lock-up kit for the 700r4. We're in the process of upgrading the fuel system with a Boyd Welding EFI tank and FiTech fuel injection. I ordered a governor tuning kit for the 700r4, as the 2 through 4 shifts have been stacked since day one. We should be able to tune the shifts both part throttle and WOT to make better use of the engine's power. I'll throw up some pictures to go with the update.

This is just a pic from a day the kid let me drive it to work.

The filler cap sitting in it's place, looks pretty sano if you ask me. I do wish the filler would have landed over those scratches in the bed wood... oh well.
