<VV> Putting miles on the '69, was: Boring Lifter Bore Wear

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

Well, wednesday I ended up putting 148.08 miles on the 69 Monza... I just 
happened to have my father-in-law's GPS with me, and found out my speedometer is 
almost 3 mph off... the GPS had me going 74 when the needle was just pastthe 
70 mark... and it seemed that far off in the slower speeds, too... 40 would 
read right about 36 or so...
I think I need to install those hose clamps on the balance tube hoses, since 
I have a slight backfire at 50 to 55 when I maintain that speed for long and 
either back off or accelerate... seems like a slight "lean" condition... I 
found the clamps, just finding the time now... Other than that, the *new* carb did 
great!
Well, I'm off to bed... I gotta rise up early in the morning to make it to 
University Hospital (about 65 miles away) by 6:30... surgery is supposed to 
happen at 8:30, and they say this will be outpatient, so I *should* be home monday 
afternoon...
I'll make sure I ask for the rod... it should make for a nice conversation 
piece...
;-)
I'll probably be back online tuesday or so.... until then, you guys behave! I 
don't wanna miss anything good!
Later,
Lonzo
