To Jeff and friends,
Your advice is appreciated, & listened to carefully.Have received your
products and tips catalogue for mgbs and have found much useful
information in it.Will have to do some business with you in the future as I
travel to and from Virginia Beach fairly often. By the way
I have a '67B and '80B - Yes I am adding lead substitutes but from now on
plan on measuring & pouring in the proper amount.Thanks again.Phil Roe-
Eastern LI.
