I'm 36 and have been here since 2004. Bought my first car, a '74 GTO, at 13 years old in 2001 and still have it.

If you want it to look original, you would want to run a new resistor wire if it was cut off. I'm not sure if those are available aftermarket by themselves. I suppose you could find a parts harness...

If you are talking about the 744 cam, it idles with a very slight loap in a 10:1 433 that I have. I would imagine that it would idle pretty smooth in a 461. It runs well and it produces plenty of...
