Now you need to get Don/Cheeks (McFez) blessing. He is the FE guru and an ERA guy! Would love to see this car!

Some time in the fall I'm going to bring the car up to Bruce's in Rockaway (picked up a 14" drop base and extreme filter top when there yesterday), he just upgraded his video scope to the new BK8000 from Snap On. He graciously volunteered to put the question of cylinder bore condition to rest once and for all. I'll post those files once I have them. Maybe I can get "DonDon" to meet me there seeing it is the half way point between his palatial estate and my coal mine

In the mean time, I'm hoping to carve out a day next week to put some mileage on the car and see what our consumption is like, you are more than welcome to join me, and yes, I already know, I'll have to come pick you up.....At least you won't have to wear a parka like the last time .....If not, I'll report that here as well, regardless of outcome (good, bad, or ugly).

Have a great holiday weekend.
