It was a pretty good effort. I have a serious question about the 510. I
was under the impression that the mechanicals of the 510 didn't change much
over the years it was produced 68-73, and that it always had a smog
pump. Was there some reason a 73 would be slower than a 68, or was it more
likely either a tune-up, part failure, or something else?
