Just wondering. Have you contacted IPD about a return? They are an excellent bunch, genuinely concerned about your product satisfaction.

There's a bit of a learning curve when transitioning to a vintage car, but with an Amazon it is not too steep and is much more "forgiving" than with any modern car. Maintenance parts are noticeably cheaper and thus the cost of an ordering mistake is usually under $30.00.

When I was younger, I used to drive and maintain a 1972 145. When I moved up to the modern (at the time) 740s I paid other guys to do my maintenance. However, when a clogged $7.00 flamed trap led to blowing out my rear main seal to the tune of $700.00, I decided to get back into my own maintenance, joined the BrickBoard, and eventually this led to me buying a 1967 122S Wagon. Later I got my 68 130 Daily Driver.

I've had to re-learn everything I used to know and learn a many new things since (SU carbs are particular challenge).

The board is here to help. Ron can be abrasive at times, but from what I've seen he's a good guy with less patience than mere mortals :)
