  1. You are behind on giving us the details for the "Done" items above! You need to spend some quality keyboard time doing the updates! C'mon, it's been a month or more already!

  2. I know, I know - sorry. I've been up to my elbows in rust and grease during every spare moment the last month working on the suspension (which I am just now marking "done"!) I am on vacation next week and I'll get a lot written then - promise!

  3. Geoff,

    If you are still driving the car with no vacuum advance, you will be very disappointed in your self when you finally fit one! It changes the car completely to have this working - much less laboring at road speeds and a lot more fun on the highway. Do this one soon.
