Hey Larry, a buddy of mine was at Norwalk and told me about your car and the times. I told him that you had worked hot & heavy to get it done before you couldn't test and tune anymore this yr. He was impressed on your launches. He then aske me what the hold up was on my Galaxie motor, I told him the greenbacks were slow his yr with the hail damage and my work load this summer. If I can get the head gaskets from Cometic, I can finish the motor. Then I can R&R the car! Garry

Little secret......i reused my cometics after i put that one pass on them after pulling the heads.  Lol.

The shop really helped me get things moved through quickly.  30 yrs of friendship has its advantages.

If anyone buys cometic intake gaskets, you find the bolt holes are placed better now.  The shop bitched and send back a few sets because you had to repunch them like 3/8" lower then supplied.   They first moved the port, then finally just moved the holes.  Ugh.
