I have more pics in my build thread, but here is my dropped 82.
The Speedo is off and bounces around a lot. its about 10 - 15 mph too fast. also the ignition box is starting to melt. I was gonna upgrade to this to delete the ignition box.

That's actually a really good choice on distributors. Worked great on my last car. FOr the speedo bouncing, the first thing to check is the cable going into the speedo. It's just a plastic clip and can back out a bit making the speedo bounce. If that's not it, does the car have different (non stock) gears in the rear end? It came stock with 3.08's, so if someone put something else in there, you need a new gear on the trans end of the cable. Check LAte Model, they have a chart showing what color gear to run with whatever the rear end ratio is. Glad you kept the wheels by the way, looks great!

You mean I re-did the interior, added a 3000 dollar custom painted/carbon wrapped 12 point cage with window net and dual 400 dollar Simpson Camloc racing seat belts (one was for you), in floor subframes with custom outriggers for the cage to tie into, parachute, battery relocal in a mirror polished custom battery box, upgraded to a 4 bolt motor that has billet internals good for 3000 hp, went to twin turbo vs the laggy ass Vortech that was on it, fully CNC'd my heads that flow almost 400 cfm now, solid roller swap, removed about 200 lbs off the car, and new dual disc clutch (ordering from True street), all for nothing? It just took longer than I expected, and being out of the state and moving three times with inconsistent income didnt help the situation.
It will run in the next year or so, hoping for a mild 900 rw on pump gas, no meth, no nitrous, no e85 shit. I dont think it will put down much more than that on the street, but I will turn it up till I am scared of it regardless.
