[Spridgets] How's the car running?

[brian S]

Hey Phil,

I had meant to send an email out about this.
Car and your engine are running GREAT!
Kevin's tuning is spot on and his carb fix is holding well.
Had a bit of an issue with the car tho, not related to the engine so
I'll get to that in a separate post.

Starts right up, fantastic oil pressure, 40 at hot idle and 60+ at speed.
Hasn't gotten over 190 degrees.
Need to do an alternator swap sometime as the Genny can't keep up with the
lights.

It does seem to be leaking a bit from the tappet covers, I haven't had time
to address it yet, but will soon.
 Weather's been cooperating the last week, so I've been driving it quite a
bit.
My kids are always asking me to pick them up/take them places in it. :-)
Driven it to a few local cruise in type car shows and it always attracts a
crowd.
Many people come and talk about it.
I love letting the kids sit in it, many are a bit shy about it. I'm sure from
getting told,
LOOK, but don't touch anything on all the other cars. There are some cars at
these that
have had LOTS of money invested in them, so I understand that.

Me, I don't care, my Bugeye is not worth big money, it's not a Trophy car,
it's meant to be enjoyed.
Kids always enjoy it, hopefully remember it for a while and even get hooked on
cars.

Maybe even a Spridget.....

Thanks again Phil for the engine and Kevin for hosting and both for helping
with the swap.
You guys made our Summer. :-)

ps: Only gone over 7000 a couple of times......;-)
