    Hey Brett, great picture of your engine an plug wires I noticing you need to turn your spring return bracket it should be straight - parallel with the motor. The way it is now the spring may come off when put the gas to the floor here's a pic of what it should look like. IMG_0948.JPG

    Just your typical grocery getter and local cruise night attendee.

    You just can’t beat the sound of a great V8.

    First cruise of the year at my old stomping grounds - which is a former greyhound track where I went to work at 15 because my mother told me if I wanted a car when I got my license, I needed to get a job.

    Oddly, I feel like that's lost on a lot of young people these days. 20180517_154216.jpg 20180517_154149.jpg 20180517_154133.jpg 20180517_154443.jpg 20180517_154426.jpg 20180517_154412.jpg 20180517_153551.jpg 20180517_153532.jpg

    Brett, I went to the Seekonk race track car show maby 4 or 5 years ago. It wasn't much of a turnout but I went early and left early..
    So...any planned shows there and are you bringing Vader??
