I am getting more and more confident that the mechanical noise I was concerned about is normal for this valve train.

Friends stopped by last night and Laura’s Dad sent me another Olds book. (He wanted it to go to a good home, Yup)

I took the guys for a little cruise and pushed the right pedal a little further, I like it, this car feels quick, I even did a little traction test and there is zero lag both black stripes start at the same time :-)

The shifter is functional but nowhere near usable for PSMCDR so I need to “shift” my focus back to the shifter :-) The Competition Plus has such a long throw, between gears the knob has to move like half a foot.... I am so tempted to follow in Al’s foot steps and put the Street Super Shifter back in the car that he installed back in the day. I would use the red H Boot that Pete Leathersac sent me to dress it out..... Hmmmmm.....
