Yep, got the 88TA fired up for the first time today, after 18 months of work. I'm so happy! Smoked a little as it burned off whatever dripped, dropped or dribbled onto the hot spots, but no flames so figured that was a good sign. Still need to set the timing and run the engine through its heat cycle / change of oil. Gonna need help for that, and with my schedule, wont be able to do it before the Nats next weekend unfortunately.

Sorry no pics / video. I was too excited to remember to take any before I shut her down. I finally own a RUNNING Trans Am.

Roadworthy is another story.

Despite the two family vehicles, 3 kids, wife and mortgage, I can finally realize the dream - 88 TA almost all stock... for now. http://www.cardomain.com/id/untameddave Wanted this - , but ended up with this - for free. Can't argue with free.
