Hi Guys
Just dropped by to see how all of you are doing. The weather here has been beyond description as we have had days that it would be in the low 40s, high 60s, hard winds, pouring rain, and hard hail all in the same day. I am going house crazy as I like to be outside more than a few minutes a month.
Bob, Coyote, and all the rest, I hope that everything is going great for you.

Hi Ron! We've had a very mild winter and spring, in the 60's and 70's most every day lately! Think it was making up for the miserable winter last year!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Dave,
Just wait for the Summer. All Winter we never had any rain and the temperatures were for the most part in the 60s and 80s. Then Spring gets here and we go into Winter type Weather. I am sure that when Summer comes, it will just go straight to the 110° type humid weather.
How are the cars doing? I have the coupe down in Livermore having it completely rebuilt as it was so messed up there was no way to get it right except start from scratch. I think they about have the body work down and Brent is going to start on the engine as soon as he finishes the 4 he had started before me. All new wiring and new fuel injection and computer set up. Even new tires. I have been driving the 69 Cobra on nice days to some small get togethers.

Hey Ron, good to see you again. Yeah, our Pacific weather patterns have been....................let's say interesting.
BTW, I didn reply to the messages thing a few months ago, but I don't think this system sends alerts like the old one did. Took me awhile to see your note, and that was just by accident as I don't check my profile page very often.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Bob,
It does send alerts. That is how I knew that someone had answered this post. Good to hear from you and I hope that everything is going well for you. I am trying to decide what to do about the big car show coming up here the 16th through the 22nd. I won't have the Coupe back by then and I don't like taking the 69 Cobra out as everyone wants to crawl all over it.
I spend most of my time at a new site that is small and the owner made me the administrator so he could let me run the site while he works on his 13th or 124th Cobra. This one is a Kirkham, as are some of his others and has a flip top and 427 SOC engine in it. He already has had Kirkham start ordering parts for his next one which will be a Bronze one.
I will PM you the site URL so you can come over and look at the pictures as I don't want the moderators thinking I am trying to raid this site for members. We only have 465 at this time and have kind of co-joined with a T-Bucket site. We have a bunch from south Africa and many of them post some fantastic pictures of their cars and some of them have built them from scratch.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
