Just installed MSD Ignition today after a few days letting the heads break in as well working out all bugs motor wise.

Ummm. 5 Mins at most?

Plug and Play harness made the installtion a snap!

Start-Up is still the same...I'm a take her out on a long drive tonight and see whats up.

But last night out had to give her a gas few times and SHE IS PERKY. My Buddy was like WTF did you do to this thing? Def don't remember this thing moving that fast!

I was merging onto a local highway and the ******* didn't brake now accelerate to let me in. SO I couldnt brake it (due to unfrozen caliper that needs replacement). So I floored it.

So I took her out east...not to much stop and go.

74 miles total

Just used a touch under a quarter of a tank. Sound good?

Hey, I have stainless lines up front, and they're sweet. Not sure if they're those particular ones, but there isn't a huge difference between lines. Easy to do, too. I'd love to do the back ones, but um, we've both been a little busy nursing bigger, more serious problems... Best of luck to you and your hoe!!!

Oh, and never trust the fuel gauge. The way a fuel gauge works, is the float has a piece of foam on one side, and an electrical contact on the other, with a hinge close to the contact side. The contact side rubs against a spiral of wire, and the higher the float, the more (or less, i can't remember the current flow off the top of my head) resitance the wire has. The wire sends current to the gauge, which is typically a bimetallic strip/coil, meaning when it gets hot, is bends because of the different heat expansion properties between the two metals.

Ok. All of that for the real point: as your tank empties, the float travels less and less (starts at 3 o'clock (full), ends at 6 o'clock (empty)), meaning your fuel gauge will read differently between the top half of the tank, and the bottom half of the tank. Also, since (most, though I'm not certain about ours) fuel gauges read because of temperature, your fuel gauge will read more full/empty on warmer/colder days. So the only sure way to do it is to fill your tank, go for a good drive, and then refill your tank, and divide the miles by how many gallons you used (miles/gallons). End rant. Sorry for the spam.
