I take it you're driving the Notch to the Invasion?

Sounds like a personal problem. Maybe less beer?

What are you gonna do with three running cars? Pick the one that's going to break to drive to the Invasion?

Toby is going to wire it in so that it is all nice and tidy.
All that is left for 'needs' before the trip is an oil change, and if I can find a type 3 speedo cable, I'll install one of them. I don't think I've had a working speedo in this car since 2003. |
Damn. It's a new day here on the Samba for sure! Not one, not two, but three Fyekelstangs up and running!
Wanna buy a Type 4? Such a deal I make you!

bump your timing up a bit too.
I'm still tweaking mine, but 11 degrees at idle (unplugged) made a big difference.

But, my AFR is at a staggeringly bad 10.7 to 10.9 below 5k feet and in the high 9s low 10s beyond that.
