I got the 'Long Distance Drove" award meaning the Packard that drove the furthest distance. I think I beat out Robert McAtee by 20 miles or so.
I just got my 55 Clipper out of the shop with a new crankshaft because my Packard oil pump wore out after 50,000 miles. I also had the new Oldsmobile oil pump conversion kit installed in my Clipper (352 V8) and I have 60 psi on my mechanical oil gage and the car cruises at 75+mph. Here's to more than 50,000 miles on this oil pump.
Hope to see more of you next year. My wife enjoyed herself, instead of the 'Tech Session' she went shopping! I think I had more fun at the 'Tech Session!'
