    300 bux it's the making of a budget saga. Well might as well take bets on how long it last this time .

    Old busted is out and new one is in . Distrubitor is re curved and dropped it in . Carb is on . I need to figure out a hood it hits the hat now so that will need finesse to get it shut . Still a lot to get done but it lt's going back the right direction now .

    Hang in there. Good people are getting fewer and further. But as I once heard there's someone for everyone, and sometimes there's two someone's. Kids that's what you call hitting the jackpot.

    Watching this thread like a hawk. I have a Malibu wagon, too. Great score on the 383. Is that a neutral balance, balancer?
    I wish I had your fab skills. I scored an old cast iron t4 rams horn manifold, but the crossmember clearance is going to be tight. Anyway, just want you to know there are readers out here depending on you to shorten our learning curve with malibu gen 1 turbo fabrication. Stay with it!

Comfortable with.
