    I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up at one of our houses to show it off! HAH!

    i am still breaking it in. going for drives at various speeds and not staying at any one for long.
    unsuprisingly i did just find out that it is very easy to pass cars quickly on the freeway with a 75mph speed limit.
    my antique speedo only goes to 80 so i have no idea how fast i was going.
    i wasnt hammering it at all...

    We don't blame you! It must be like "re-discovering" the car all over again.. that new motor must run so nice when compared to the old worn out one.

    i blew the holly carbs power valve but thats fixed.
    it does have quite a bit more power.
    when i assembled the rear end i installed a 3.00 gear for fuel economy.
    with the old engine i was getting 19mpg.
    and i am curious what i will get now.

    With a fresh engine and that gear in a light car, you should get better mileage now--might take a few miles to get the engine broke in and loosened up, but I'd be surprised if your mileage wasn't better!!
