Took it out today for about 15 miles, other that the radiator leak it ran great, BLM's at 121, 14.5 volts, 170 degrees, shifted nice. Moving on to body work next. Put it away for the winter, probably chip away at small things but ready for a break. Thanks for all the help guys!!!

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

That is hard for me to believe.  It did not come anywhere close to that when new!

Adds to the mystique.  LOL

One of my windows programs distorts my pics when I resize them.

I downloaded an aftermarket program and it does not.

That's disgustingly clean. You can resize pics in Win 10.

And this is the small volt meter I integrated into the lower left indicator pod - Not my original idea, but fits perfect:

That one shows unavailable, but there's many others of the same dimensions on Amazon.

Been a while since I posted on this, been chipping away at the car this winter. New radiator supposed to be here any day now so we want to get some miles put on her soon. I will post some pics of interior this week. Through the years people had glued velcro tabs all over the dash and the glue was impossible to completely remove so we painted up the dash which turned out great, was worried. Also replaced the upper dash top. pulled the seats to replace the carpet. Pulled all the seatbelts and washed them up. Pulled door panels and refurbished them, still need to get upper door trim/pull straps. The window glass was all scratched up from bad outer door seals, replaced the seals. Got really lucky and found a local guy with a few old G bodys with descent glass. He agreed to let me have some good glass if i put mine back in his cars to keep weather out! Super happy with his generosity!!! Was going to get new wheels but for now polished and painted up these...not bad for now, do need to get one wheel center cap. Cleaned up and painted the head and tail light assemblies and grill. Probably missed some stuff but its been lots of fun so far!! Stayed tuned for pictures.

You have become one of the most accomplished turbo Regal guys on the board.  Nothing like doing it yourself to learn things!

I assume you found the throttle valve cable somewhere along the line...
