No. 1: Drive the car. It is, after all, a Super Carrera.

0. Check the throttle bell crank bushings and make sure the throttle is opening all the way.

No I started to...put the front on ramps and the rear I couldn’t find a place to jack it up to the point where I would be comfortable with it...After looking at the front for a while and seeing what’s involved and not wanting to the leave the car my GF's house in the garage where her mom parks, I thought it was best that Don Jackson do the repairs...they just picked the car up this morning...

I salute anyone who has done the fuel lines...it looks like a ***** to do, but the same time I think I could have done them quickly with an extra pair of hands...

Frank, It's tough to do long/ unfamiliar jobs if you don't have a designated place to work. Sounds like you will be on the road soon though. I can't wait to see your car.

Make a note of the Nov. 18th track day at Firebird -west track. You should come down and check it out (even if you don't run), it looks like there will be quite a few Pelicans there. Afterwards we are going to my house (about 7 miles from the track) for some beers and to re-live the day.

I dont know the location of the top10 things to do to an SC is - but my vote for the #1 thing to be done to an old SC is install a supercharged 3.6L motor! after that maybe some free flowing exhaust -
then get yourself a real GOOD HELMET!!!!!
