Installed 3200 spring today

A little time consuming but not a hard job at all. Didn't have any real problems, just a leak at the fuel (return ?) line. Reused the top gasket also. I made the bent 10mm wrench for the idle screw, and used a small piece of allen wrench (cut off just enough to fit in the bolt and the appropriate socket), 1/4 in swivel and ratchet. Worked pretty good on the back bolt holding the top on. Took it for a test drive and was pleased with the results. I hit 55 in third, I didn't try any top speed runs but I'm sure I can top 100 now Before the spring it would defuel at about 72 in 4th and 95 was its top speed in 5th

Yep, that's the best low-buck bomb you can do to a 1st gen.

Better get a tach on that thing, 55 in third is wound up pretty tight.

Big 10-4 on the tach, I wanted to see what it would do and it just kept pulling and pulling
