Well I finally got my new 67 440HP motor installed, engine compartment painted and a few other things done. Never had $$ to do it when had original paint done. Yes, I know. The belt is a generic one and I need to do the wiper motor (Jules is in my future). Fender tag in my wallet right now. What stands out that needs to be done still? Not looking for factory exact, but maybe immediate improvement.

Good news it with 100 miles it withstood a traffic jam threw Harpers Ferry, WV yesterday in 90 degree heat and held 195°. Then found that it is now ripping second gear with a takeaway in drive. Sweet.

Bad news is I was told not to take down new ragtop for two more weeks to stretch it. Is this normal??

Thanks, Pete
