[DML] Re: Vortec swap & parking brake

["Gus Schlachter" <gus@xxxx>]

Duke, no flames here, I say more power to you. So to speak. I was
considering converting my D to electric, but given the number of Lucas
components in the car, I think we're looking at a bigger fire than a busted
fuel line spraying the coil.

As much as I seem to disparage concours events, I do have an affinity for
originality. The new PRV will be expensive to buy and maintain but it's
worth it to me at this point. BTW, I was under the impression that the
upgraded PRV was going to run about 190HP, well within the acceptable range
for the transmission.



Joe, misery loves company! If others have had problems with their parking
brake then I'm unique just like everybody else. Amazingly I pounded out the
bent parking brake so I'm OK until it happens again.
