I B stumped! The car had been running better than ever and then when I pulled into Shea off the Beeline, the gas pedal dropped out from under my foot. Inspected and tightened one clamping bolt all the linkages were working fine. Fired it up, and hit 6500RPM in a heart beat. Looked some more. Everything clear and functioning as it should. Pulled a couple velocity stacks so I could see the butterflies, and they were as they should be. Fired up again. 6500 again. Gave AAA some business and took the car backup to Vntage Iron for a re-do. Fortunately, Mark has the shop's phone tied into his home phone and he met me at the shop so I didn't have to leave the car sit outside. He'll have Dave get into it first thing tomorrow morning and I'm sure they'll get me fixed up. I was sorry to screw up Mark's Sunday morning, but I was more sorry to not be able to take the drive up the hill. ARGH! Mesa Mike hung with me and brought me home from The shop and we rewarded ourselves with an excellent breakfast back in Mesa at Danr's favorite place, The Corner Café. oh well.
