Indeed...Ark, welcome to what has effectively become the 'new home' for many of us!
I do still have it. Sadly it's spent most of the last decade sitting around under covers due to a whole collection of general driveability problems. Made the decision to move it somewhere more accessible and start working a punch list of problems and upgrades this summer, including a modern bolt-on EFI conversion. The wild card is the condition of the 727, which was rebuilt by a series of morons and has never quite worked like I want, but the car needs to be able to reliably start and drive before anything can be done on that. Undercarriage stuff is still mostly alright. There are electrical gremlins to chase down, probably owing to my amateurish wiring from, at this point, over 15 years ago. Internal condition of the 360 is fine, far as I can tell, apart from having 7 year old oil.
I am ashamed to admit that I have been a poor friend in keeping up with Woodvark. Not sure what he's up to nowadays, though I now live much closer than I used to. Living in Indy is a big factor in not driving the car, random stalls and stumbles are a lot more dangerous with the people who drive around here than in the sleepy college town I came from.
But, I'm not as absolutely shit broke as I used to be, so I'm hoping I can make some half-ass jobs on the car more whole this year. I am STILL, nearly 20 years later, running the throttle bracket that Woodvark bent with channel locks and the kickdown linkage he cut on a workbench and Mig welded to a new length for the 4bbl when I was in high school.
Hey, you still got it and kept it from rusting to the ground. Lots of projects go into cold storage when life gets in the way.
If you have any EFI questions let me know. I've had a Sniper on the car for five or six years now. It's been through a lot of changes since the last time you saw it.
I was under the dash last night adjusting the break light switch and found a nest of god awful wiring from my high school days, so I know exactly where you're coming from. Been like that since around 2002 or so.
Hey, if it's not broke, don't fix it? lol.
