Victor Laury spent a couple of hours the previous day (Saturday March 2nd)
at my place in Rosemead, CA looking and listening to my engine which I just
brought back to life after 20 years. Not working on this engine for that
long it is great to have someone like Victor who is willing to give his
time, expertise and enthusiasm to keep these cars going.
A big thank you to Victor!!!!
Now on to the hydraulics
