At first, I thought maybe you were late for church... 

you are dressed nice enough.

 

That first camera angle 'appears rather subdued', then I just watched this one!

She has nerves of steel :ph34r:

 

 

     DISCLAIMER 

I now disagree with some of the timing advice I have given in the past.  I misinterpreted the distributor curves in the Blue Book. 

I've switched from using ported-vacuum to manifold, with better results.
