Spent the weekend pulling that off and getting that welded, changed plugs and oil, filter, put diaper back on, and almost ready for next weeks points race...

One of two womps of the throttle and you would still be racing. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time
