Neunelf:

Thanks for the info. Now I understand completely.

Ian: Since I don't know how a stock early car sounds, I won't be the wiser (or dumber) when I actually hear mine fire up this spring.

It still amazes me that for 30 some odd years, I have lusted after a car, and even though I have never driven one, I now own one, and will take possession in April (if all goes well and the creek don't rise.)

Gonna be one hellova SPRING!!!!
