Next Meeting is a Cruise to be held Friday, May 6th, 6:00 pm

The start point will be the Shelby Mall parking lot and we will be “cruising” for about 1 hour and 15 minutes to the Great River Road House near Desoto, WI

 Our last meeting was held at Paul Thicke’s garage.   Thirteen members were in attendance.  Paul and Tom displayed the benefits of calibrating your distributor on a Sun Distributor Machine.  Starting with a conventional points distributor and then converting to a Pertain pointless distributor.
