Not a NGK BCP5ES, kinda rare. Very hard to find local.

As good as I was able to get the set that came in the engine, which were dripping fuel when I got em 850 cfm on a pump gas BBC 427, I was glad to pay it, if I didn't have to wait on mail order delivery.

Try that part #. Edelbrock is specific in listing it for their cylinder heads. Good luck finding it local.

$7.99 for one quart of Pennzoil, is a loss of dollar purchasing power / inflation.

That is the point to be made. Not where you shop. Couple that with govt. inflation numbers then you KNOW your government is lying to you (primarily to avoid SS COLA adjustments).

In 2021 I am racing closer to home and not attending any NHRA LODRS events, it has just gotten away too expensive and with all the traveling too time consuming.

At the end of 2021, or possibly sooner, I am going to sell everything (car/trailer/motorhome/parts pieces, tools and all the equipment) then sign off from DRR.

I need to find a recreation that is less stressful and easy to master. With that in mind I have decided to take up playing golf.

Tom, I was obviously kidding. Golf is far more stressful and difficult to master than drag racing. The part about retiring from racing was serious not because of any reason other than age, I'll be 80 in three months.

I'll be 80 on April 1, April fools day, and I am in the garage working on the race car now getting ready for the tracks to start opening. Just came in for a bite to eat. Last race was New Years at West Pal Beach. Be safe

Very True.
