Rather then hijacking other threads with our progress on Pearl I figured it would be best to just start a new one here.

Named "Pearl" by original owner
First off, I would like to shout out a BIG THANK YOU to Mike Wah for providing me with the opportunity to own this piece of automotive history. If it wasn't for Mike and some serious encouragement by Johnny I would have never even considered it.
We are anxiously following Mike's progress with Frankenstein and if all goes well we will start the upgrades followed by dyno results in the upcoming months. Seeing all the fun Mike and Brian are having though is making it more difficult to wait Fortunately, there are multiple projects going on in and around the shop right now to distract us.
We were able to track down the original owner of the car through Warren's FB page. Russ, was nice enough to provide me with a few photos of when he first received Pearl and I will add a few pics of what she looks like today later on.
Here are our baseline dyno pulls. The only changes that we did was removing the SuperTrap muffler so we could use the wideband and we replaced the gutted out 2.25" cat converter with a new one. There was a performance computer chip from back in the day installed when we received her.
Thanks!
