NQ, I miss the list also...when this popped up, I was very surprised!
Larry, thanks for the write up as well! BTW, I read thru some of the other replies already and know that Zundfolge is still out there....as a matter of fact saw him at the Tulsa show and visited with him later....he seems to be doing better than ever! Guys, I am driving my 68 Turbo'd megasquirted sedan to work today for what I hope will be a final heat problem test. I added two of the old skool scoops on the sides behind the windows and actually cut holes in the body for the airway. I don't have any problems except at interstate speeds with the deck lid closed. NQ, we all missed you when you needed some breathing space after 911....get lil'red out and give it a go! Cheers, dave On Thu, 7 Oct 2010, No Quarter wrote: > Larry - thanks for the nice write up.
