Yeah, I am WAY too close to Moss. Far too easy for me to drive over there when I need (or just think I need) something! Obviously, lister's don't want to pay $10 shipping on a $3 radiator cap. Unfort

Thanks for pointing out that "...the firewall of the B needs to be cut back on the RHS unless you have a '77 or newer." I couldn't remember the cut-off date for that. Personally, I like the supercha

Ahh yes...the "Bernoulli Effect", correct? don ;-) Hoods puff up like that when at fairly high speeds. The wind creates less air pressure outside, so the top bulges. Brian R. Lundgren, V.P. Elgin Cot
