My understanding is that it is not a very common color. Used from 61-64. Beside my 21 window I have only seen one other mouse grey 21 window and heard of a couple others floating around. I've also only seen a few 23 windows in this color as well as a small handfull of deluxes and micro busses.

| Started off with plans of installing the old speed 944 kit when I couldn't find my lock tight. I got so disgusted of the mess that I spent the whole day cleaning out the bus and re-organizing the tool shed so that I can work. |

I feel your pain. I straightened up the garage and moved my roll-away toolbox and the upright freezer to new locations to create more space. Habits are a b_ t_h! I keep walking to the old toolbox location to get tools and the box isn't there! |

| Swapped out the 32mm venturis in my Berg 42 DCNFs for 30mm venturis to get more velocity on the bottom end. Swapped out one 010 for the one I rebuilt and realized that the dizzy clamp that I was using was out of whack. It didn't have the proper bends so it let the dizzy dance up/down a bit and the weights wouldn't always return at idle. I swapped in another clamp and the problem went away. I bought a VJR4BR18 dizzy off of ebay and it wouldn't return at idle...with that same messed up clamp. The guy I bought the dizzy from said that he didn't disassemble it when he "cleaned it up" so I will give it the Glenn Ring" treatment as soon as I can find my copy of Glenn's "how to" that I printed off the net. I also swapped out the MSD wires for my old tried and true Jacobs tires. Bus is running well, but I think the breather element (mesh screen) is clogged...one more project. |

Not too far, but about a half-hour or so this evening along a swell dirt road in the twilight. It was magic. |
