hmm.  I dont think that I wanted to hear that Rev.  
I dont know that anything is wrong with the car...  I have been around the past 3 owners for the last 8 years.  Its always run the same.  slow.  Thus the want for speed parts. 
Like I said, the engin pulls nice, but it feels as though the Tranny is holding it back.
How quick should a 3 speed 2v car go?
ok, so I dont have to pull heads, but what about the lifters?  Or are they accessible by pulling the intake?  any one know a good site that has a How-To on swapping Cams?  Im clueless here, but wanna know.  Seems like Ill be doing this soon.  well with in the next 3 months...
