70 duster: updating, and a no-dough pro-touring makeover

It's funny you bumped this today.
After i grenaded the clutch doing the burnout video, i wound up doing a bunch of work. Including a new bellhousing....

Today, i got it fired up for the first time since thanksgiving and drove it to ghetto gas. Brought it home, and fixed the pinion angle with a handheld circular saw to the lowering blocks. Seems to have fixed the oddness i felt from the rear when taking off, but dont know if I've fixed the driveline vibration yet.

Additionally, im still fighting the megasquirt. Intermittent noise causing tach loss. But getting closer, and cleaning battery terminals and grounds may have solved it fully.
Tomorrow night after work my wife and i will check timing again since i had to pull the distributor while doing the clutch (won't miss the lakewood) and im going to run it a few miles with all the load on the electrical system. See if the noise comes back. If its good, and the weather holds, im going to take it on a poker run Saturday .
Then, if history is any indication i will ignore the car again, and get sucked into a full restoration of an acr neon.
