Thanks Al, and Richard! RIchard, Your Camaro looks mighty fine, too... Hope you have some fun with it, and get that 327 back in there soon... Anxious to see how much you improve, over last year... My engine will come out Saturday... and i will hopefully have cam in and degreed by Sunday, and putting head back on... just waiting on lifters, from coating in Chicago, then i can finish it up...and an order to Jegs, for some break in oil and cam assy lube. If i can pick anything up, we'd probably be a good heads up race!

You should bring your car to Bowling Green in June for the Hot Rod Reunion Brent...you would have a blast.

It would be fun.... but, if i dont get all the stuff done, it wont be goin anywhere...hehe...
Im curious how your cable for your shifter is routed... ive got a Hurst in the car, now, but goin to a Cheetah sometime soon... i got a great deal on a used one... is it routed where you can see it, to take a pic, from inside the car?

Just so happens I have the shifter loose atm to replace the neutral safety switch...I'll snap a pic of it this weekend for you.
