Roy,Sounds very promising – I guess I know where to send all my stuff for powder coating – thanks for giving me ideas for my speedster project.

Paul,

 Thanks Ed,You had to post the one w/ my side profile – I guess I better get to work

 Thanks Roy – I owe you – see you Friday evening

Looks like I missed pre -registration at this point and Rock Star Parking – no big deal – 15.00 at the show and it’s like 100 feet away anyway. 

I am in as of last night – Lois decided it was my birthday after all…

Thanks Roy – I guess I will pass till a Fiberfab top comes up somewhere – I do have my old top and bows someplace – not sure about the door glass – but it is costly around here – 500.00 I would guess to have a top made?

Might be interested in the top – never had one – might be time?I will give you a call.

Ed,

Cool Ed,Looking forward to watching this winter.

 Thanks Bill – They tell me I am 55, but my brain says 25 – not sure what happened to the time?

 Still hope to make it but it will be last minute – I did get Friday off – my b-day – but not sure if my wife will let me off the hook – we shall seeAlso – the weather looks to change by next weekend – much colder – no top

 Roy,I have them on mine and they do help a lot even though I have a tall windshield and w/ my seat fix I now sit much lower then before – have you done the fix? It will lower you 2 – 4″ I would guess.That being said – I get most of my wind from the side and the rear.

 Roy – – you got beat because Ed was faster then you – not sure what my excuse was

Like them to – more hot rod – they way I like them – Mech fuel pumps – got to love the 10% corn – carry an extra fuel pump just for that reason.

How many miles since rebuild? Might need to drive a bit and  break the engine in – change oil 500 miles or so on break-in.

 I had one side ported ( they are tied together anyway ) at AJ Sims and used their vacuum advance Dist.and have not looked back. Aircooled has a great SVDA so you should be good to go. See if you can locate a nice used set and rebuild and port the unit and give it a go. One of my speedster buddies in CA has 80,000 on this same set up. It worksI…[Read more]

 Jack,Happy you finally figured it out – always a big relief when you know what is wrong and can move forward.My opinion – Dual Kadrons w/ a vaccum advance dist. I have a 1641 and installed the set up about 5 years ago and adjusted – still going strong – about 15,000 miles now w/ no adjustments.

That will be a nice run – coming over the 301 bridge is fun – if I can pull this off I will be meeting you guys someplace south – maybe 301 and 17? Need to take a look at a map etc. I give myself 50/50 chance at this point. 

 Not out yet – It just might be a last minute decision
