Hi all,

>>>More like ASTHMATIC I would think.  A BRACE of Webers is a PAIR of Webers,

i.e. two carburetors.  (Look it up if you don't believe me.) I see this

written all the time, and it drives me nuts.  Lots of cars have a brace of

Webers, but if you're talking downdraft carbs, Panteras have four, which

would be, uh, TWO braces I guess.



(Can you tell it's after midnight and I've been editing the POCA quarterly

for the past three days straight getting all the little lines to line up and

all the words right and all the captions spelled correctly and making all the

stories come out to the right length by making the pictures bigger and then

making them smaller and then making them bigger and then adding a few words

to the story and then making the picture just a little smaller and then

widening the column just a little bit hee hee ha ha ho ho oh, oh, I think I

need to go to Hawaii again BADLY!)
