I posted a couple shots of a really cool survivor 62 421/405 in the PonchVilla section and a real 41 Willys street rod with a 528 Hemi, in the Mopar section. The threatening weather kept a lot of people away but it was a nice place to visit and hang out.

Just filled up the T/A with gas after last night's cruise. I actually managed to set a new personal best, mileage record at *11.1 mpg highway, 8 mpg city.


*Remember, use these figures to compare. Your actual mileage may vary. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

A little test driving this evening. Checking if she's still in tune. (All within the posted speed limit, of course)

Nothing sounds like an angry Quadrajet (when they work properly). The car breaks the tires loose when the secondaries come in. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

If you watch the shaker closely, you can see the flapper open at the same time the secondaries kick in.
