Ted-
You may not remember our conversations at Twist and at Waterford Hills
(Meadowbrook weekend). My engine was rebuilt shortly after I bought the
car, less than 10,000 miles ago. Now I am trying to make up for the rubber
bumper curse by returning to old specs. Had I known then what I know now .

Regards,
Chris
