    Still have a few loose ends to wrap-up, but I think I'll make it after all. First race around here will be March 4th.

    What distributor cap are you running?

    It is a pretty picture, but I doubt that is a Ford distributor...therefore, by Forum bylaws, you must disassemble your engine, and reassemble replacing all gaskets with Hubba Bubba bubblegum...:D

    Yeah, I know it sounds dumb, but it is required that ALL parts be FOMOCO parts...

    No, seriously, what cap are you using...

    Looks like a Pertronix Billet distributor to me. Looks just like mine and Dan Hines.

    Looks real good!

    Looks like a great deal of rubber fuel line. May want to check out your rules before opener.

    Does that cap (sorry to keep hounding you on the cap) have blade contacts inside or the half-round ones like the stock cap?

    Rick,
    I'll be at a local outlaw track most of the time but will venture over to Huntsville some also.
    Yep, I heard about Steele a couple months ago and looked it up. I hope to get over there some too. Not too awful far from here. I'm looking forward to this year. Been working on son's and grandson's car. Now it's my turn.
    The engine is just a little warmed over street motor with forged innereds so I can spray it 150hp or so if needed. Oh, I did get some Dart heads too.

    Snooper, the cap has the half moon terminals. Scooper, Scooper, sorry 'bout that. I'm old.
