Default Re: New Yenko Owner needing some help!

Thanks guys for the info. I did find Jamie's description of the car and sent off a PM. Interesting sidenote: I opened the ashtray this morning and found three time slips. Apparently, Jamie took the car out to Beech Bend Raceway in August of last year. The car turned 12.7 at 111 MPH! Not bad for a 45 year old car!

Cool! I believe that there is video of the car running on this site from that event. I can post it when I get home if you'd like.

Hey Bruce;

Many Thanks--I would love to see the video! It's about 105 here in southern Utah. I took the Deuce out for its inaugural spin--no problems. It can still light em up! Temp reached about 180-185 and then stabilized. Oil pressure stayed around 55-60 lbs. Great shakeout after a full Winter off.

Great vids! Where do I post questions regarding electrical issues? Forgive me, I'm still a Newbie to the site.

Wow -- laying eyes on the old Deuce from eons ago will be neat ... Craig
