Something in the way she moves, Attracts me like no other lover. Something in the way she woos me. I don't want to leave her now, You know I believe in how. Somewhere in her smile she knows, That I don't need no other lover. Something in her style that shows me. I don't want to leave her now, You know I believe in how. You're asking me will my love grow, I don't know, I don't know. Stick around, and it may show, But I don't know, I don't know. Something in the way she knows, And all I have to do is think of her. Something in the things she shows me. I don't want to leave her now. You know I believe and how.

I think perhaps farther than that...almost 30 years have elapsed since 1969...

What's even more amazing is that it only took 66 years to go from first flight to landing on the moon. I just wish we had been able to keep up that pace--imagine where we would be today.

You obviously speak from experience. There's nothing quite like the view from the driver's seat of a C3, looking out over those fenders...

Hey, that's what roadside assistance is for! Hmmm...the '74 does not seem to have On-Star tho... But yeah, I've heard some horror stories and then I've heard people who swear by them. Really though, the way its performing with the HEI that is on it now, it may be a while before I play with the ignition.

The aluminum heads should also give some headroom in that area. The heat dissipation is so amazing that I was able to comfortably touch the steel valve covers almost immediately after shutting the engine off after our testing.

Where I live, I don't even have to get my cars inspected! My distributor is a weird thing. The 1974 Corvette was the last year with a mechanical tach, and also the last year for the points ignition. So, I was able to find an HEI distributor with a mechanical tach drive, and that is what I am using now. I'll probably go with an MSD later when my wallet recovers.

ROTFLMAO I can definitely say to anyone thinking of buying an old car, whatever you THINK you are going to invest in it, triple it.

I've heard that the trade-off with those is that on a wet road your traction approaches zero. Any thoughts?

Yep, I've already put the 3.70s in. That was a lot of fun to do without a lift, trying to chest-press the pumpkin up into place. I also had my Turbo 400 rebuilt with a shift kit which will have to do for a while. Probably go with the Firestone Indy 500s when I wear out the current set. There just isn't a lot to choose from in that size.

Did two sets of runs, one with the vac sec and the other with a double pumper. The mech sec numbers are the ones I posted. I got more of an education that I ever wanted on how vacuum secondaries interfere with the dyno.

It was pretty melodious, I can tell you. Damn loud running with open headers, too, even though the exhaust was being piped out of the building.

Ja and we only ran it up to 5500 rpm. I suspect the peak hp is about 460 @ 6000 rpm.

Brodix IK200s...9.5:1 comp ratio.

You know I am not sure on that...the owner of the shop told me it was actually running a little rich during the testing, I suppose due to the Holley 850 test carb. It'll have a vacuum secondary 770 cfm Street Avenger on it when it goes in the car (which hopefully is happening even as I type this).

There is some dude in Iran who really loves Photoshop.

Are real woman. No synthetic parts or anorexia.

We have a screenshot thread here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...mp;#entry221748

Zur and the Kodani are stirring up trouble on the Frontier again so I've been spending a lot of time in my Gunstar...

You said "lay pipe."

I was recruited by the Star League to defend the Frontier against Zur and the Kodan Armada, so obviously my time here is limited.
