Need to replace that carb with MPI

well, this is certainly why I had to run a piece of cardboard in front of my radiator for the whole trip.

stupid construction made me miss my milestone by a bit. I've owned the Fury since 1997 and 42,000 mi

Good story to read, all the pics and such.
I wish I had braved the trip with my '68, but I wasn't confident in it making such a long trip, it's only had short drives in the last 15 years.
Was worried I'd have a breakdown along the way and inconvenience everybody.
Apparently I shouldn't have worried about that.


What month in 1997 did you buy your '70? I bought my '68 in May of 1997.
I can't read your 1st digits (is it 98k?) but I think I'm ahead of you.

Nov 97 I think.
98k yes, didn't flip this year, might next year

Well, 1997 is close enough, regardless of the month. Once again, we are brothers from different mothers.
And I'm 93k ahead of you. Catch up!

well, I put 50k on it myself, that's not so bad. 40k on my motorcycle. And we both have other hot rods that get some mileage as well...

Yes, 50k is pretty good.
