Gentlemen,

I would like to thank all of you for your feedback in regards to this matter. I am happy to annouce that this problem has come to an end. ( I hope)

My engine guy which has the car in his possesion has contacted and informed that the motor is running great.

He has called me thoughout the day so far and finally told me minus a couple of adjustments ( install std stacks and 120 holders) that the car runs AWSOME!!!!!.

He has tested drove the car and he said it revs crisp, does not spit and fires right up. He has pulled the plugs and they are turning brown from a black carbon.

He will now install new plugs when the 120 holders arrive.

His explaination after repeatedly mentioning how AWSOME the car was that 1 st gear is a waste engaging 2nd is a waste and 3rd is when the car is useable.

Driveablility is excellant. He has finally admitted that he did not think the Webers would perform the way they do. In pervious conversation he wanted me to go EFI. I asked him if he still feels the same and he said that he does not think I should change.

As long as I could live with the characterisics of a carb motor I will be fine.

I cant wait to drive it.
