On the hunt for an overdrive 3 speed with cable/handle and carb solonoid or a T5 as a temporary solution for 70 mph until I can stack the account for an LS swap. It will comfortably do 55-60, but gets angry at higher speeds.
Oh you're fine with the setup you have now! Really nice burb!

Sounds good! Shoot me a PM if something comes to mind.

I'll be at the Springfield, Coburg, and Cottage Grove shows, but I'm down for meeting up anytime.

Yep no cruise. I emailed the Millers a few months back to clarify. They sent me back a slew of reasons for the cancellation. Insurance, security, etc. it came down to $$$$$. Sad.

I still need to crash one of your meetings. Still hold them at Coburg Pizza?
My church is doing its first BBQ/car show this Sunday 12:30-4. If you're out and about, swing by. Game Farm Rd.

I followed up with the insurance $$ thing and they are spinning a lie. Sounds like it's comming down to just not wanting to do it. Several groups have volunteered and the Millers are just tired.

Coburg Pizza in the winter months, potluck at different peeps houses during the nicer months

Eugene Christian Fellowship Summer kick-Off.....I have flyers hanging up at work! Hope you guys get a good turn out during a holiday weekend. I won't be able to make it, but the BBQ sounds good!

Well shoot, that's unfortunate. It's not like the city to hamstring a big event like that from happening, so I knew when I read that bit about the insurance, something was off.

Awe I see! I'm in a group that does that also. I'm sure we know some of the same guys.

Thanks for the support! I'm driving back from Eagle Crest just in time to wash my truck and head over there. Should be a good time.

Well, Im glad I got to ride in the Orange '66. Will never forget it either. Trying to remain all cool like on the outside but inside it was white knuckle all the way. lol
So, gotta ask. When the '46 Burb gets the LS are you droppin it in the weeds?

Fine fine fffffffffine lookin Burb you have there. Can't wait to see it in person.
