Post 1978 is road worthy again.

Im sure ive already offered my thanks to those that have assisted me in salvaging a poor pathetic 78 928 (#198) from certain doom. Ive had to deal with pretty much every major problem there is except tearing down the engine for a rebuild.
Right now she drives and runs smooth But feels strong, nimble and FAST.
I have the idle a bit high yet at around 1000 rpm. This was done because I believe that someone may have cammed this car in it's past. she sounds like a cross between a F1 car and a 69 z28 302. Whom-ever the PO was before the kid I bought it from- loved this car. It has a Prototipo wheel (300 bucks) and perhaps had some performance mods as well because ive driven 3 and 400 HP muscle cars that don't snap like this puppy!

I have a dyno day comming up for my little 4 banger VW project- so I think i'll tune the air fuel and see what the roller tells me. If your interested- watch for the post, and thanks for all the advice!!!
