yes it is a change...mind you all the problems with the GN were all my fault...it is just nice to have a car that the whole family enjoys....not just me.

If I had the car, I think I would "improve" it with a FAST EZ-EFI, or equivalent just to have that great fuel injection drivability

Mite be a good idea to look into a EFI system...cuz I have a feelin' the gas prices ain't gonna get any cheaper. Saw one setup on Hot Rod TV...or one of those shows...seemed real easy. Just plug some numbers into the computer...and you're good to go. I'm an idiot...and even I understood it. I'm currently in the market for a SBC powered vehicle...and that'll be the first thing I'm buyin'. Gotta have an OD trans in it tho. Was talking to Steve about a vehicle...mite look at it today or tomorrrow...if I can Norbs off the effen couch. Saw a 1965 6 banger ragtop car like yours on BJ this weekend. Think it went for $16,000 or so. Leave the skirts off your car...they`re gay.
