Thanks everyone!
Chris, saw that in the marketplace... Lot of potential there. She does scream when I put my foot in it even with the weak valve springs and the rear main seal leak. Power band starts getting good around 2500 rpm or so, and doesn't stop, though I haven't *really* gotten into it yet. Another part of the story right before I killed the battery with the short; got a full tank of watered-down gas, so I was opening it up at every chance to burn it off. Still got a little over 11 MPG. I expect that to go WAY up once I rebuild, re-wire, and put in the GV overdrive next year.
Marty, yes, love the slotted wheels, but I need to go up to your setup. I'd like to find another set in 15".
