Kirk,
This is a great drive. Us low landers would have to tweak the carbs
for those 7,000 - 10,000 ft elevations or install a supercharger. :-)
I had a Judson on my car in 1960 and just went buzzing by a new
Pontiac Safari whose engine was gasping for air while crossing over
Tioga Pass (10,000 ft) - - what fun.
