Sorry to hear about your bad luck. I don't want to make you feel bad but you did miss a great get together at Indian Caves State Park.....

I used to feel that way about the '68 when I was young. Seems all I ever did was work on it. It had a way of going kaput at the best times in the best places (insert sarcasm here). It didn't help that it was a severe cobble job when I bought it, and I was still green myself.

But if it wasn't for that old bucket of bolts, I wouldn't have gotten an early jump on learning as much as quickly as I did. Looking back, I can't imagine what I would be like today without the experience, frustration & friends that resulted from it.

Oh... and I just have to throw in my 2 cents... ditch the Holley. On a driver, they suck. I don't think there was a truck at the meet that was running one
