This is to confirm that CW issue #104 has finally arrived over here in Germany. A pleasure to read. Thanks to editor and all contributors...

This is to inform STOC members that our annual MTG 2018 will be held from August 2nd to 5th 2018 @ Budweis in Czechoslovakia. If interested pls. contact me for further details. Certainly a far ride east but should be a unique chance to enjoy a superb four star Hotel and excellent beer for very reaso...

Graham, that's definitely a great idea . In 2018 we'll have our annual MTG @ CzechRepublik while for 2019 vague plan was to meet @ Ruegen (North East german coast) .

For rebuild kits you may try Sunbeam Spares...

If space allows would try to put a thicker plate between carb and manifold. Furthermore the Edelbrock runs quite...

Think from factory they were never covered with vinyl. However famous Woolies shop sells plate material with elephant skin pattern whch is very close to the originals....
