That's me on lazy days. I know it'll taste good even if it looks like hot garbage. When I get into it though, a lot more becomes involved. Like measuring the length and width of apple slices to be in unison with moon shaped cuts of melon.

Habits from culinary school that never died.

Make it look nice, then you hate to eat it.

'78. I was finishing up my career with the DoD. What I was doing was great. Then they told me I was damaged goods and no longer of use. Thanks Jimmy Carter. Funding for the program was cut because of him. They was looking to cut people.

My first '78 TransAm was a WS6 240hp auto, with the Hurst T tops. All black with the bird on the hood. No pin stripes. This car was a major chick magnet.

My second '78 TranAm was a WS6 240hp with a stick. No T tops. Red with a black interior. It was one of the first ones with the 4 wheel disc brakes. Went through 4 motors, 3 trannies, and 2 rear ends. The last motor in it was a cheby LS7 crate motor.

Had the '70's, Big Block 454 LS7 Rated HP was 465HP. It was more likely over 500HP. Big block Pontiac motors don't like to rev over 5,000 rpm's very long. So I switched to the big block cheby. Local dealer had ordered the motor for a guy. And the guy died before he could pick it up. So I got a deal on it because the dealer couldn't send it back and it was sitting collecting dust.

My T/A had the Pontiac 6.6 ( not the Oldsmobile ) rated at a pitiful 190hp. It was a lot of fun over 100mph the ground effects and spoiler sucked that baby to the ground and it felt incredibly stable ! Should have kept that one.

Both of my TA's had the 6.6 Pontiac 240HP motors. The way to tell a 6.6 200 HP Pontiac motor from a 6.6 240 HP Pontiac motor was the valve covers. The 240 had chrome valve covers and the 200 had painted covers.

The Olds 6.6 (403) didn't come until '79. '80 had the 301 turbo or the 307 Olds.
