SWEET! Just noticed that Dave's running the same spark plug wire heads that I did... the Type 3 ones. GREAT choice! I gotta dig around for mine. Hopefully, I was smart enough to remove 'em from the car when I sold it in '85. Looks like another trip to the attic.

damn yes those look good, and i even have a type3, but not the leads... i even live in the attic and all. i need to get a set of those as well. and this car rocks. if you want early callook this is it in full effect. that is one of the cars that swung me over to like those earlies. |

Greetings guys!
I just got back from the Grand Canyon with the family........another story all together.............
What a great time it was. I met so many people whom I admire and others I met for the first time. This really is a great community. Gunter, Peter and the CSP gang, Mags, Sir Licksalot and many more..........
I'm still laughing about the racing! I ran the valves on the crew cab (tow vehicle) and the ragtop the night before at about 9:30 p.m. and hit the hay. Up at 5:00 and to the track. The ingress and egress worked much better than last bugin. Got in with the Wiess clan and parked. What an experience! They are serious racers. Allen, Sue and Matt (who had his own '67 there to race) attacked everything from charging the battery to checking tires, while I put the tilt canvas up on my truck and installed the hammock in the back. Then it was off to tech (quickly, as I learned from Allen, so you don't have to wait in line long) and back for more prep, which for me meant a banana and some gatorade. I watched some of the big boys getting ready as well, Art Gutierrez, Scott Bakken and Lawless. Well, then it was off to the staging lanes.
What a blast! Met a lot of great people and saw some cool hardware. A lot of "what's in that thing?" and "turbo?". Had to tell the truth..............2332 turbo.
Lined up against a very butterfly filled Gary Justus, who should have shown me his license plate from the green light on. Thanks for making me look good, I owe you one! Then got right back in lanes and ended up in the right lane against a powder puffer I didn't know. She treed me by a tenth but I managed to keep even with the short gears and 4.37s. We ran pretty even until I ran out of gear and she pulled at about the 1000 foot mark. 16.4 to her 16.3.. We had a good laugh at the timing booth and she drove off. It wasn't until later in the day that I saw her run a 14.7!
After two fun runs, I hitched it up to the truck and headed out to see the swapmeet with the DSK guys, Steve, Gary and Larry. They had a batch of the drink they invented back at one of the old bugins...............I wasn't sure whether they were going to drink it or put it in their tanks to up the octane. Saw some more friends in the stands for the rest of the day.
Thanks to all who made it a great day.
P.S. It ALMOST looks like the front tires left the ground!

Sorry to hear about Lee's engine. It doesn't look like he was overboosting considering the pulleys he has.
There is a lot of cool old hardware out there; Zeniths, Strombergs, Superior parts, homebuilt headers, cool intakes (I dig Lee's tunnel ram)...........
Rick and Sir Licksalot, I owe you both the keys for a drive. Uncle Jim......we've gotta talk......do they make those in eyebrows too? Richard, I didn't even know that was you when I was talking to Troy.......sorry for the lack of introduction.
In addition to the rest of the great experience, I was pleasantly surprised to see John Lazenby there, as he said he would likely not be able to make it. I know the desire is still with him.......let's see if he builds another..........................
Sarge, a huge thanks for all you do for the hobby.
