I spent some time looking at your car at Frank Maratta's show. It was beautiful. I spoke with Murray ( I hope I got that right) for a long time until my friends physically pulled me away. He also had a great looking Black ERA. It was nice to see two cobras there. It was unexpected. Good Luck with your car.

Default Final tuning complete!

I got this report yesterday from Jim Inglese:

Hi Jeff,
The tuning session went very smoothly and I took your car out with Doug, and drove it a couple of miles. It runs beautifully. You will be pleased with the way it drives at low speed; it’s very smooth and has good manners in traffic. You will also like the performance when you floor it. I am very happy with the carburetion; the engine feels super.
Jim


I can almost taste it!

That's a pretty good endorsement from Jim Inglese, Jeff. And from my limited experience with Webers on Alfas, when they're jetted and tuned correctly, they stay in tune easily, are smooth, powerful and reasonably economical (considering it's breathing through eight throats all the time!)
Cheers,
Glen
