i am just going to put it all back together and put 90% to her
and run it as a altered so i dont wreck the body
if it goes boom....

Here is the lates,.... Talked with Ken Veney for a brief
3 minutes today,...wants me to call him back.
This is what i got out of him,..
Vic,..hi Ken, I have your first Vega funny car.
Ken,..You do,..are you sure ??? who did you get it from ???
Vic, I bought from a guy that lives on Hawaii and was bought
from Jack Cambra.
Ken,..(back ground noise),..Hey who did i sell my first vega to ???
Female voice,.. umm ,..uh,.wasnt it jack,..oh whats his name,
...Jack Cambra.
Ken,..Hmm,..ok...are you going to paint it red ????
Vic,..well yes,. of course.
Ken,..cool,.thats a great color.
Vic,..what did you use for a clutch and tranny ????
Ken,,.. We ran a Weber (Mcloued) single disc clutch, and
the first (ever) Lenco 3 speed transmision behind a 481 BBC
on alcohol,..alcohol injected.
Vic,..cool really,.. the first Lenco 3 speed ???
Ken,..yes the first,..call me back we will talk more,..gotta go.
Vic,..ok thank you,..bye
So,.. as brief as it was, i can only imagine that for the
rest of Kens evening tonight a little light will be flickering in his
brain, over our brief conversation pondering, and memory flashing
back to the days of running the vega, that will only be saved
for more talk the next time we speak....The End
Vic
