Lew's '73 2.0 was delivered last night at the local Walmart. Not the most elegant of places; however, it has a big parking lot.

Since it was dark, I waited until this morning to give the car a bath. My oldest son and I took the car for a 34 mile drive and I am happy to announce the cars runs great. According to receipts it's a 2056 and it certainly feels more powerful than my other 2.0L's.

The only issue I have is that the brakes feel VERY weak compared to my other 914's. Since the calipers are recent rebuilds from Eric I will try bleeding them to see if that helps. If not, I guess a new MC will be next.

Anyway, I am pleased with the car and it sure is nice having a FI 914 in the stable!
