I met Lloyd & DG while racing my AF/S Daytona in Denver. Somebody introduced us and I said I was building an AMX for Stock and it had an Autolite carb. Lloyd became interested in the project and offered his help in the carb department. The AMX eventually made it on it's maiden voyage but all I had was a borrowed Holley 750 DP. It had no jet extensions and was overly rich. So much that it labored to 5000 RPM. It ran a 12.65.
The next week my Bray-O-Lite arrived. "No payment" said Lloyd, "just try it. If you like it, we'll talk about the money". Oh boy I said. But off to the races I went. First pass: 11.65 / 11.50 corrected and instantly hitting the 6200 RPM rev limiter!
I called Lloyd from the track as I was still pissing in my pants from the excitement. Lloyd shared in my excitement. I said "guess I owe you some money" and he made a long drawn out presentation (oh boy I said, here it comes...), finally saying "how about you send me $250?"
Well that same carb eventually got me down to 10.50 in D/S and 10.02 in SS/H. I tried different air bleed sizes and no improvement.
I've kept in touch with DG and Lloyd and have spent many hours on the phone with him. He trully is a racing legend and you won't find a nicer guy. Same with DG.
I've tried calling Lloyd at the home but he's not good at answering the phone. I would love to drop in one day and keep him company for awhile. I'm all for a card. Is that done on the internet and mailed to his home?
Now that Daniel kid, he was supposed to be building a Rambler on my advice for Stock. I'm a little pieved to see mention of a Buick instead!

Lloyd, I hope you get this. You've been a great influence in my racing and I owe you.
Peace...
