Re: Retuning the Tappet Tango......

Just got back from the local 4th of July Parade with another 56, a crawl at 90+ degrees in and out of the sun.

No tappet noise, but both cars got very hot. My temp gauge got to about 12:30 and my foot never touched the gas, just the brakes. Car pinged for two blocks then cooled a bit and ran fine.

I can only imagine the anguish of a straight eight owner.....
