I might...the weekend before (Memorial Day weekend ?) there is a car show in Tomahawk Wi that I have been to a few times. It is pretty decent, around 300 cars show up. I am going this year with my car for the first time since I have had it.

Thanks man! Love that green!

Thank you!!

Here are some pics of my car...

Thanks Dustpan. I live right by the big Catholic church in the middle of town, so if you ever want hit me up and stop by.

Yes it is! He is my wife's cousin. He is the one that got me into an A body, I was looking elsewhere.

I am in Slinger. I have only had mine for about a year in a half. Hit up a few of the local shows this past season...looking forward to more this year! I will try and upload some pics when I get them resized.

Turns out is was one of my pushrods that was out of adjustment. Got that right and now she runs great. Thanks everyone for your help!

Yes hydraulic lifters. The engine doesn't have any odd noise other than the sort of rough idle and small stumble off idle. I will have to check the valve height. Thanks!

Thanks guys. Sorry for being kind of vague. The engine is 360, it is a 87 truck motor in my 73 Dart Sport. The plug was black and kind of grimy with oil. I did put in a new one and started the engine with the plug out and did have spark. I didn't think it was timing really...just...

Looking for some advice... Engine started running bad. Found that I have a cylinder not firing. Checked for spark...which it has. Everyother plug was clean except one. It idles ok...just sounds a bit off...and down on power. No smoke out of the exhaust or anything. Did it go out...

Awesome!! Thank you! Can't wait til spring!

Thank you!
