Back in the day a bud of mine had one of those and it was a wicked good autocrosser. Used to eat up the cones real good. Those things are light too.

Josh,.. Your hood has 1 pint of Mazda Brilliant Black applied to it and is curing as we speak. Whatever you had on that hood sanded like absolute shitballs Maybe a ton of wax? Did what I could for a overnight stay and sprayI'll send you some pics in a few when the shop clears out some more.

Well, Cory dropped his SA off here yesterday. I pulled his carb to find the front bowl running empty. Time for a rebuild. But I did find out what was causing the massive power loss. Got that taken care of. Put one af my old carbs on his car and had it running awsome. So good, one of the neighbors down the street had to come by and tell us to slow it down.........

The car ran good for a couple of hours. Then everything went to ****. The car hates me. It will not run worth a crap now. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day...

Sounds like dirt getting in there from somewhere. Old hoses maybe? Put one of thiose glass replacable filters inline right before the carb and see if crap shows up in it.

I found gas down on Gilead Rd. yesterday just across the street from the hospital. Its so hidden that folks from the highway never see it and so it usually has gas. Oh yeah but they only had 87 octane which was fine for my truck, the 7 and the lawnmower

I went at about 5 this morning and waited about 10 minutes. then swiped the card. 25 dollar limit sign was poted...but, it never said how "many" 25 dollar limit pumps you could do....I have a full tank of 87 in the FD. Now i just need to find some octane booster to be a little safe(r)

Thank goodness I found a place with gas. It pays to know people. A friend owns a gas station in downtown matthews, just got a tanker in today, won't pump until 6:30am tomorrow morning. Anyone interested?
