It was repainted mercedes "Astral Silver" from the original Silver Cloud to give it that original Silver Arrow I concept car. It has the optional black leathercustom interior with wood veneer. It's basically stock except for a SQ stereo and electronic ignition. · Date: Fri October 20, 2006· Views: 3258· Filesize: 18.6kb· Dimensions: 160 x 108· Additional Info Rating: 10.00 Linked Thumbnail:      BB Code:      Send as e-Card Print View Author Thread   sicksteve Level 2 Registered: June 2005 Posts: 247 Tue November 20, 2007 7:05am I\'m not giving myself points. Just an addendum: Just took a 3AM drive after the 700R4 trans conversion and another ignition system (Jacobs Omni Torquer with Allison Conversion, and the stock coil, which I can go back to if the ultra coil in the Jacobs spark box goes. plug gap at 0.045. Runs GREAT, idle-perfect, off-idle response---incredible. The 700R4 needs some more adjustment, although it is shifting about where I want it to. The shifts are firmer, and at cruising speed the rpms do drop--so maybe MPG might improve (but on my \'73 and \'76 Riv\'s the THM-400 is the best transmission I\'ve used; it seems to know exactly where to shift) Anyway, it was exciting to drive this cars after almost a year of storage. The electronic ignition computer takes 20 seconds to get an engine profile to set parameters, then it was smooth as silk. And no more dripping dynaflow. I feel better, but Bentsen (the guy who does the nailhead>newer transmission) mentioned he got rid of that steel gasket below the cater AFB(GREAT!!! \'/\\\'---supposed to be a pissed-frown). It is there for a reason.... duh! ------------------------------ '63 Riviera '73 Riviera '76 Riviera '70 Eldorado '78 Tornado '94 Lex-Ass; it's good for something--getting parts!
