Okay,

I jumped into SPF 2715 this morning at 5:30 (it was in the garage), with St. Louis weather at 45 degrees. The garage is not heated, but is insulated.

Turned the key, motor fires right up! Back up car out of garage, and realized I set the garage door opener on the lawn tractor, so I jumped out of the Cobra and walked in to get the opener.

On the way back it struck me....The car is still running! It was "camming" along at 800 rpms, puffing white exaust (it's cold out), but the d@mn thing is running!

I have had carb'd hot rods and race cars almost my entire life, and I do not think any of them ever did, or ever could have run like that without warming up.

The drive to work (10 miles, half interstate, half not) was fantastic, car ran like a champ.

It does have a stumble between 1st and 2nd on a "harder shift", but it repeats so I think that is just a tune adjustment.

More to follow, I am getting my lipstick cam recorder set up, and there will be vids.
