What a day. Took the B out for the acid test of the rebuild. Drove from Pasadena out to Goleta (Moss) then back down the 101 to the 126 through the orange groves. Then went south down the 5 to the 210. Took a detour up angeles crest to the top of mount wilson and had an absoute blast. Finaly made it back home 270 miles later.
The B ran for the most part fantastic. It's going to take some serious self control to not get a speeding ticket. Step on the gas at 70 and she's going 80 without breaking a sweat and quickly heading toward 90. She ran a needle width to the left of N the entire time and the oil presure was a solid 80lbs the entire trip.
The only issue I had was an very random and far between issue with what felt like a cylinder droping off line while going between 60 and 75mph in 4th. Would last very briefly to 10 seconds or so and then back to smooth.
