86c or Hi Rick, the 86C is a nice cam, thats what I'm running now, depending on what your going to do race or for hot street. Street dial in the cam, see where your at and advance it 2* to bring the power band down a little, watch it come alive. If you leave it, you'll have srtong mid/top end. Thats the way I have mine right now. It's a sweet cam. By the way, I'm in on both the IDA member with 3 1/2 sets, member since late 70's and a JD member also. Great heads!  Ted |

Hey Rick,
Glad to see you got them okay. I hated to give them up but I seem to be moving in a different direction these days and at least they went to a good home.
Thanks,

Ordered a beam and spindles from Russell at Old Speed.
Man that boy is smart about front ends. Ran some ideas past him and he convinced me to go with a more modern and accepted set up. I may not quite get the look that I want but he convinced me that I wouldn't be happy with the car if I went the way I was thinking.

Yeah Russ is "Smart " about alot of things...!...He saved my clutch tube from being ripped out and replaced ..! he said why rip it out ...I can fix it for less..!! and he did a A-1 job...!!...Can't even tell he opened up the pan to fix it..!! still works perfect after 7 years ....!!! I think you'll be happy with your front end Rick...I'm running a 3 inch with dropped spindles and I love it !..Wheels sit good and rides very smooth !...You plan on running caster shim's... ? |

I found a Unicorn...
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I met John Nash at The Classic yesterday. He had a stack of pictures from the last Bug-In and from the DKK show at Irvine Park. As I was leafing through the stack, I came across this.
My car was only set up like this for at the most 6 weeks. I wrecked it less than a month after this was taken. The only other picture I have of it like this was a fuzzy shot that Mark Kessenich took.
I told John the story behind the picture and asked him if he could send me a scan of it. He insisted that I take the original.
Thanks John, it means a lot to me.
The fender in the foreground I believe is Henry Mayeda's 67 and the late model in the background is Scott Hall's
