G'day Al,

Although I've seen the car at a couple of shows I don't know the owner. Interesting video though!

Hi Mal, It was Russell Kerr's car with the Victorian Number Plates, recently sold, not sure who purchased it. It chewed through at least 3 flex plates on the auto when Russell had the car, and Russell drove the car like there was a valve spring under the throttle. It NEVER went over 50 mph while he owned it.

That must be why Stude was anal in their service manuals about using the dial gauge to get the bellhousing opening to converter shaft centered within a gnats whisker.

Sincere apologies to everyone... This is not Russell 's old car as Russell's was RHD factory and in Australia since new. I just watched the video and feel a bit of a Goose...sorry to the owner of the car, hopefully his bellhousing/converter interface has been set up correctly PT
