...Roger that and Thanks! The 351C seems the most sensitive. Especially on drives where dramatic elevation changes are a factor. I try to listen to what the motor is saying and treat it accordingly. It tends to be "pingy" in the valley and "boggy" in the mountains...

Maybe you'll get your chance Neil. Rob and "mechanicalguy", what great info! Really enjoying the read! I've grown accustomed to setting timing by trial and "ear". With fuel different today than it was in '68 - how accurate are the factory recommendations for the stock engines?

..."Divine Order". The GT/CS has long been an effective vehicle in more ways than one.

...Thanks for confirming that Amy and David! I can now on go on record claiming; "this contraption is capable of reaching Mach One!" ;-)

Congratulations Arlie! I opted for smaller signs with the Marti reports laminated to the back. The literature is handy for anyone who wants to see it, but I quit doing the big display board to afford better pictures of the car. Some shows have banned tri-pod displays due to liability in...

Congratulations Rich! 'Looked like a great show by the photos. :-)

...On mine, the front hose goes to the carb and the rear to a "gang" receptacle on the intake...

Ditto to that and congrats again! Now with all the great experiences, success and new friendships that began with this car,.......

...and an example of performance extremes with a little help from this home built steam tractor. Made entirely from scratch, it puts out a whopping 2.5 horsepower at 70 psi (steam) and lurches along at blistering speeds un-recordable with modern speedometers (blistering only if you allow it...

...Wow, both cars look Great! (Rob, 'read your thread too:-) Awesome!! What a great day indeed! Amy, I'm glad you went with the white stripes - looks real sharp! So glad you two connected and are all smiles as it should be. Congratulations!

...Faint she did! ;-) and all the turpentine in the country couldn't of wiped the smile away when she "came to"! http://californiaspecial.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7196&highlight=stevenson

...I don't know Arlie. Perhaps with more people showing perfect cars, maybe they figure that's the best way to up the ante'. Does the first aid kit need to be period correct?

..One way or another, the book will come out and IMO, the author's involvement w/ SAAC may well indeed make it a better read. SAAC appears to me as an astute "attention to details" group that has already provided insight we haven't seen here. All contributions notwithstanding; the "book" is...

Neil, I remembered this from a "way back" post. Is this what you're after?

...Just want to say thanks again Arlie. You sent me a CD last year and this is an extremely generous and valuable resource you are providing!

Hold the phone Gentlemen! The heads pictured are C6AE-U, not C8. Would that make them 1966 or 67 GT390? Could they still be original? 'Sorry for the mistake. Doug, had you located a set yet?

...Very dirty lens or he was puffing a big cigar ;-) "Nightmare" pretty much covers it...

Doug, Jeff; Mine are C8AE-U. They're on my '68 S-code, tho I can't swear they were original. What does the "-U" tell us? I was told a couple of years ago that 390GTs had 428 heads, but have since found that's not true. Correct?

...'Wonder if Rob ever watched any of the old "Saturday Night Live" shows from the '80's. 'Just think, on Tuesday, he could dress up as the "church lady" (Dana Carvey) and greet Amy with something like: "well...Isn't that Special....My, my, my. Who could it be?...could it be...SATAN??? ;-)...

...For how long Jon? I'm only 2.5 hours away.
