Default New member saying hello!

I decided to join the forum because I heard this is a great place for technical information. I will be pulling my 474 and making some changes this winter so after reading a few threads I think I have found a great place to get some advice.

I like to see pictures when new member join so I'll post up my 3 Trans Ams

This is my Y88 4 speed T Top car PHS docs



1978 Trans Am SE clone with 54,000 miles. Butler 474 This is the car I'm going to be working on this winter.



1978 Trans Am Butler performance 461 Lots of cool stuff on this car.



Anyway nice to be here and I'll be posting some questions in the near future.

Welcome, Nice cars, True that there is a wealth of knowledge and experience here. I have learned things here about my car that I would probably not have learned anywhere else.

Welcome! Based on your shared photos, perhaps your PY handle should be "Birdman 1978"
