Dave,

I called Kerry and he took care of the problem, however this is just a temporary solution. What happens when Kerry moves on and is replaced by someone who would not be as knowledgeable or sympathetic? As our cars are driven very few miles a year, compared to the average vehicle, our emissions are not that great a factor in the overall pollution problem. I will discuss this with Mike Carrell, my State Senator (who is a car nut), and see if there may be any support for exempting our vehicles.

John,

Kerry is very knowledgeable when it comes to engines and turning. He told me that a properly tuned engine will give peak performance and lower emissions. I mentioned that I needed a good professional tune and he highly recommended http://www.carbconn.com/. I was up there in August with a couple of club members and was impressed with their operation. I'll be going back up this spring and have them do a dyno tune.
As for Kerry's "Filthy Pig" remark.......you do have a Big Block.

Steve,

When I talked to Kerry 2 years ago, I asked him "what happens when you transfer or promote?" His reply was that he has gone as far as he can in his dept. and his next move will be retirement in 12- 14 years.

Now that's a low blow Steve.

Karry also recommended that I go up to Carb Connection next spring. I have already removed the air horns which made a big difference, and I'm planning on picking up some Quick Fuel primary metering block so we can fine tune it a little better.

And even after the Big Block comment, I'm glad to hear you are all taken care of.

Take care,

John
