Damn, Matt, I wondered if that was you! As I said at the time, I wish it went to you. The guy that bought it was nice enough, but didn't really have the kind of experience I would like to see. Sorry you didn't get it, buddy, something will come up.

I put my first 50 miles on the Kirkham today. God, I love this car! Only problem once I fixed the loose hose clamp I forgot to tighten on the lower radiator hose was the new red Holley fuel pump. The piece of crap stopped working once while I was on the highway doing 70 going to get my safety inspection. Everything checked out, but I noticed the voltmeter would drop slightly everytime I flipped the swich on. Jammed pump. I let it cool down and then flipped the switch on and off until what ever was jamming it passed. Got it running with no further problem, but the fuel pressure was bouncing around, so I have a new pump on order. Do these Holley red pumps ever work right?
