Yes Zen, I decided to go with the 64 as it is a very straight car and is going to be a good starting point for now... My super is in really bad shape and would take 5 to 7 years to do with the amount of time i have to spare and as I do not have a garage to store it at the moment, it will be hard to keep all the parts straight if i start taking it apart.

I went to a friends house today and we changed the oil, went to mobile 1 full synthetic. It has a deep sump used 5 quarts to fill it up.
Also Cleaned the K&N air filters man were they dirty!
New cap and wires and plugs but could not get to the 2 plugs close to the fire wall... any one know how to change them on a duel port duel carb motor with out taking the carbs off?

The result was very pleasing... before tune up the best the car would do is a very labored 62mph at 3000 rpm.... Now I hit 78 mph at 4100 rpm and it was still wanting to run... I did not have time to adjust the vaulves today so I did not want to run it too hard.

The merged header to open Stinger pipe is VERY LOUD!!!! I will have to change that some... I am enjoying it for now but it remindes me too much of a Honda with all that bark and no bite... I would rather be silent but deadly

I want to lower the front and rear... what is the best way to lower the front? I have a friend in my VW gang VW gang that has an adustable front for my car and front and rear swayaway sway bars and ajustable spring plates he has a grand into them how much do you think i should pay for all of that? and is Swayaway a good brand?

Ok enough for now... Sure is fun to drive.... can't wait to start moding it up for better performance.....
