YEAH, ED,

I HOPE IT DOES IT.

THE WATERPUMP IS A "SNOW WHITE" PUMP. SHORTER IN LENGTH BUT ALSO A HIGHER DISPLACEMENT, I BELIEVE.

I'M GOING OVER TO THE OLD HOUSE AFTER THE "GREASE-UP" AT THE VIENNA INN TOMORROW TO TAKE SOME MEASURMENTS AND TO SOME PRELIMINARY WORK. LAST SATURDAY, WHEN WE HAD THE CARS OUT FOR THE CHASSIS TUNE UPS IT RAN FINE - STAYED ABOUT 180F MOST OF THE TIME, THE NIGHT BEFORE I TOOK IT OUT TO FRONT ROYAL AND IT GOT TO ABOUT 200 OR 205F IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON 66 WEST. THE REST OF THE TIME IT RAN 165 TO 180.

THEN MONDAY - IT WENT NUTS. THE MAJOR DIFFERENCES WERE THE OUTSIDE AIR TEMP WHICH WAS APPROX. 65 ON FRIDAY, 70 - 75 ON SATURDAY AND 80 - 85 ON MONDAY.

HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE GREASE-UP TOMORROW. I STILL HAVE YOUR MAGAZINE WITH THE KENNE BELL ARTICLE. I'LL BRING IT.

Y'ALL HAVE A REALLY GREAT DAY,

BLACKJACK
