Reply to "77 Puma GTE Project."

As you may know I have the jetting dialed in on the 2276 and it is amazing. I can't stop driving it but have too because the engine is now listed for sale. I have several people circling the engine so I am confident it will sell in the next few days.

 While I was driving the Puma this past weekend I was in the parking lot of our local Kroger store and in the isle waiting to pull out when a driver of a Chrysler 300 started to back up out of their spot and was moving quickly to what would have turned out to be a T bone situation with the Puma getting it's passenger side crushed in. It was like time slowed down as my brain was taking this in and knowing the driver of the 300 didn't see me at all because of the Puma being so small and low. The previous owner of the Puma installed power door locks and an alarm system on the Puma along with a large two trumpet air horn setup. The horns sound like a super loud obnoxious diesel tractor truck. As I was processing that the driver had no clue I was in his car's path I laid into the horn button and scared the hell out of the 300's driver who abruptly slammed his brakes on. Whew! what a close call, his bumper stopped inches from my passenger side door. I now have an idea why the PO installed the excessively loud air horn set up. The Puma is a little car that needs to have a big sound at times. I was glad it did, without the horn the car would have probably been ruined and totaled by the insurance co. I just took a pic to post and while taking the pic of the horns I found the car has 2 air trumpets, 2 large electric disc horns and a siren. I would say that should have it covered. Can you pick out all of the listed noise makers in the pic below?
