Dan  asked me to test drive the car and so I obliged.  He wanted me to push 
 it, so I did.  My first thought upon flooring the pedal was “my ’65 is  
faster than this.” I should note that the ’65 is an S but it is still a 1500 
 and was built with flat-top pistons rather than the original dome-top  
pistons.  Also, Dan carries probably about 200 lbs. worth of tools more  in the 
trunk than I carry so maybe that has something to do with it.   :-)
Sean, Did Dan's car seem to accelerate better "off line" than your  Square, 
or was it more of a dog? Just asking, as I've had 2 Notchbacks here, and  1 
had carbs while the other had FI. The FI car seemed to have better low end  
grunt, but after both were rolling, you couldn't tell the difference. Both 
had  good power too.
 
I'm wondering if Dan's distributor has moved a little (retarded), and  that 
might be causing what you were feeling.
