Do you need a spare driver for Tweed or will the missus be operating the other one?
I do know a certain GC/DJR driver who would probably love a spurt.

Set the timing...I was about 8 degrees out on start up..not bad for a guess...Jesus 8 degrees makes a difference!...You can just hear it all just come together!..Brap! Brap!..fast spinner..good engine this one..had 2 small oil leaks...back of each tappet cover...then realised I just only done them up just lightly...let the engine cool again...tightened all the bolts down...run again...no dramas..starts cold in about 1/10th sec so I guess the timing and the combo is spot on.Just sits there at 90 degrees...50 PSI hot....lovely Errol!! :nudie: :rockon: :spoton:

Exhaust in the morning...bugger having to hire a trailer since we sold the truck..Boo Hoo!

PS Actually...just thinking...with Muscle Car Masters featuring replicas...this will fit right in....

Better body and paint on this one and its a genuine V8 plate. Unfortunately the overdraft needs some attention...I am told...
