Very nice car! If I may for a moment ask you if the fuel filter I see is a glass covered unit or plastic? Glass filter lenses can shatter and pump fuel all over your hot running engine then burn down your car, seen it happen once. Also, those plug wires look very close to the exhaust manifolds, you may want to address that by moving them away and securing them away using wire looms. Like I said, very nice looking car you won, I would be proud to own that car as well!

Welcome to the site Danny. You'll find lots of people here with the same affliction. That is a very nice 440 you've got.

Awesome, Thank You.. that's why I love forums.
I checked the things you pointed out. Fule filter = plastic.
I moved the plug wires away from manifolds using the existing harness... just slid them up. I'll keep an eye on them.
HUGE BUMMER today... lost the brakes on my car and had to get trailered home.
I was out for a cruise and slowly lost braking power... it ended in a Famous Dave's parking lot.
I've had the car since Thursday and it's in my garage tonight (Sunday) needing the brakes bled.
I'm combing this forum and youtube to prepare for for this... we'll see how it goes.
Just broke my heart to see my car up on that trailer.
