Not enough. I remain in contact with the second owner, who I purchased the car from. He had the car for about 10 years and it sounds like most of the work during that period was done by someone other than himself, so he's of limited value on most of this stuff.
I do have contact information for the first owner and we had a good conversation last fall. For example, he was able to confirm the car had a hydraulic camshaft, while the lash was set as if it was a mechanical cam. He promised to send me an email with 'a million things' about the car, but he's an older gentleman and he hasn't been responding - so I'm a bit concerned about his health.
