    Thumbs up

    Rubbed on the car yesterday for this big local deal this Sunday (hopefully the weather will be with us, but right now it doesn't look so good)

    So took it out this afternoon to visit my friend at his hanger at a local municipal airport (good car space availability) After I decided instead of going straight home to go up one of my favorite close by canyons.

    While climbing the second ascent of Little Tajunga Canyon I pick up an orange car that chased me down while I was slowing through a little residential area.... We got on it again and he did pretty good to the top. He was good in the turns, and breaking... but I had him coming out and top end....

    He was a very nice and enthusiastic 24 year old that wanted to know all he could about the car that I bought 2 years before he was born...............

    He said he was one of 3 cars I saw waiting at a turnout for someone to pass to see if they were worth following....
    I thought, damn, I did the very same thing on Mulhalland Dr. when I was his age........

    Built and fitted a new engine wiring loom for an ignition conversion to MSD. Stripped out all the old CIS nonsense as its a 3.0SC engine with PMO's in my 70T. Fitted the MSD coil and recurved distributor. After many attempts to tune the car after the engine swap, the ignition is the current suspect for poor performance. I hope to finish the conversion next weekend. Just waiting for a twin plug relay board to arrive from Kroon engine harness (actually it arrived in a couple of days, but i wasn't in when the courier turned up). After modifying the original relay board to accomodate the bigger MSD, i wasn't happy with thr result, hence the reason i've bought a larger twin plug board.

    I installed brand new Pirelli cn36 tires onto my '69S. I purchased these 185/70-15 tires from Lucas Classic Tires in CA for $299 a pop plus shipping. These tires were manufactured in late December '14 in Turkey.

    A word to the wise: if you want a new set of cn36's don't assume they'll be available forever. My prior experience with re-issued classic tires is that they make batch of several thousand tires once every few years...once they're gone you may have to wait awhile for the next batch.
