I noticed that a tire was low so checked them and and added air, so they are good now. I started up the 78 Elk again today and it ran great.

Took off the rear wheels to mount my new 275/60r15 Mickey Thompsons. I currently have an 8.8 out of an sn95, so my backspacing is 5.75 inches and just clears the 235's on it now. May need to find new wheels to clear my no notch frame.

I tested the battery with my volt meter and it read 12.5 volts. I started up the 78 Elk again today and it ran great. I hope to get it on the road again Tuesday. I have appliances coming on Tuesday and need to get the Elk out of the way. I'll be picking up my Holley Sniper EFI this week.

I backed out the 78 Elk today so to install new appliances. I then ran it around the block and put it back in the garage. It ran great.

I started up the 78 Elk again today and took it for a drive. To ran great. I used the torque converter switch and it worked great. At 35 mph I flipped the switch and the rpms dropped from 2000 to 1500. At 45 the rpms dropped from 3000 to 2000. At 55 mph the engine was running at 2200 rpms.
