[T3] Dr. Fye made a house-call this evening and my car is running again!

[Toby Erkson <air_cooled_nut@pobox.com>]

<x-flowed>Brian was kind enough to drive up to my house -- a good 3 - 3.5 hour 
trip -- with his women (wife and child) and work on tuning/syncing my 
carbs.  In under 1.5 hours my car was purring with nary a pop or bang, 
just an occasional sneeze (not the constant carb sneezing like before).  
She sounds sooo much better and is more responsive.  Just need to do 
some driving to fine-tune those pesky hunks of hollow metal atop my 
intakes (jetting).

The power is THERE!  Those dual springs really help out!!  I launched 
her at a hair over 5000rpm and lifted the nose but couldn't get the 
tires to spin.  Too much weight in the rear, yeah, that's the problem 
;-p  I'ma much happier now and Brian is DA MAN!

And she looks prettier, too, with the powder coated tin and bits in 
place.  Now I need to focus on a real paint job (pan off) and work on 
the interior.  Never ends...darn  :-D
