Dave...

Local paper:
"Instructor of Traffic Violater Course gets
picked up for speeding and reckless
driving (the latter automatic for exceeding
80mph or so on public highway here in
CT). Parents call for teacher's suspension/resignation".

How embarrassing? :(

With 155x13's, about as fast as I'm
going with 175/70x13's with a 3.7 diff
Dave, but both certainly fast enough
to increase our costs with respect to
insurance premiums for sure, not to 
mention the costly fine, and most likely
having to take the bus for 30 days (if not
more) as well.

How costly and inconvenient? :(

But certainly fast enough to ruin our
own fun for the forseeable future which
would be a shame with spring and summer just around the corner (at least
here in the NE US after the coldest
winter here in these parts in 30+ years
or so).

Are we having fun, yet? :(

With a loud foot and 45DCOE (which is
a "performance" carb), what sort of gas
mileage were you expecting at 90mph+
considering the aerodynamic/tire drag  coefficients at that speed along
with
34mm chokes? (38 would be better!)

"Consider" while getting alternator
output checked (you got "deer
whistles" on your machine?). I think you
may have a bad diode.
