  Yep, its a '70. If anyone is interested, I have a web page with
the engine stats, the EFI conversion, various projects, etc. at:

  No stories about burnt rubber or anything yet, because there's
nothing to tell. :-) I've only recently gotten it back on the
road, and there are still a few issues to resolve. The latest
happened this morning... Its a nice, sunny day; I'm cruising
to church in my '70 cuda, all is well with the world... Suddenly,
I hear "BANG!", and I see a piece of something bouncing down
the road behind me. Turns out the main alternator support bolt
snapped. Fortunately, I was able to tie the alternator in place
with some spare electrical wire. Now I get to try to extract
the bolt from the head; that's always fun! :-P
