    Don - Tow car??!!! Tell Don Jr. I had about 300 miles total on my coupe when I left here for Indiana two years ago. We made a 2400 mile loop through western Tenn, Indiana, the Carolinas, and back home with only one minor incident (ignition wire came off the coil in Alabama). Ya gotta have faith in your work!

    I know what you mean, Jim, but Dan and I talked him out of towing his car last year and it ended up eating that valve enroute. If we would have not given him a hard time about it he could have towed it there and at least driven it around town a little. The valve would have eventually broken because of the too long pushrods, but he could have probably gotten the weekend at TR out of it before it died.

    After some of the problems we had early on with his T, he is just starting to regain confidence in it. The engine seems fine now, and TCI looks like they got this new transmission right. But it is so important for Don to drive his car around Daytona this year there is no way Dan and I will "advise" him not to tow it.

    Here are pictures of just a few of the "bugs" we had to work out of his car.
