I'm always on the lookout, now, for parts for our engine. The 138 HP is pretty nice for a car this size, and now we are thinking we will overhaul the engine rather than use the L head. Not sure what we'll do with the L head. I've always wanted to use a microcontroller (8048 of course) and use coil packs. Get rid of all mechanical timing, and see how it all works. Well, maybe someday. I'm also quite fascinated by the various NOS parts over the years. I like the boxes. I like the instructions. There are also a lot of interesting tidbits and procedures in the included documentation. Hopefully this will help somebody with their restoration/rebuild. There is certainly a danger that as amateurs we are buying the wrong parts. The parts are so very nice, though. If you stay tuned long enough, we will be documenting what did work and what did not over the years. Here are some pictures of a set of .030 over pistons I got:









I plan to put up more pictures of various NOS parts in the future.
