      What is your maximum idle vacuum ??

      What is your cruise vacuum ??

      What do your plugs look like (and what are you running for plugs) ??

      Does your linkage close all the way and do you actually get WOT ??

      What type of air cleaner are you using ??

      Do you run a carb spacer and if you do what type ??

      What transmission do you run and if its an auto what is the stall/flash rpm and type ??

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      Is your speedometer correct? How many tanks have you gone through to get your figures, and how are you driving; like highway only, in town only, hard, easy, etc.
