Not Ranked
All systems go!
Went to Lamb's Tire on Lake Creek Parkway, and Jeff Minton took care of me. Not surprisingly, he remembered Cammer (a motor that shakes things off the walls of the shop will tend to do that, I guess!), and sent his best. We may even have some of his shop guys show up to check things out tomorrow.
He let me drive the car for the inspection, and let me pass even when I killed the motor in the brake test. He told me to get up to about 20, and then hit the brakes with hands off the wheel to make sure it braked straight.
Well, the brakes did their job, the new BFGs did theirs, but the Holley said "Holy *#&$!!!", coughed all the fuel out of the rear bowl, and died on the spot!
Happily, after a few cranks to get the bowl full again, the car started right up and went on to do every thing else right.
Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
