Re: 63 Polara idle RPM?

[Jim Altemose <jaltemoose@xxxxxxxxx>]

First, thanks to all for your very helpful answers regarding my 63 Poloara.

Tom, it's an interesting notion regarding my car being a Red Sox fan.
It IS white with a red trim stripe and red interior.  And it does seem
to be a bit temperamental and moody.  But it doesn't at all seem
obsessive compulsive or pretentious and I've never once heard it play
"Sweet Caroline" on the radio.  Also, it doesn't at all seem jealous
of my white with black trim 63 Polara 500 which is an original Max
Wedge and is clearly a much stronger car with a far richer history of
success.  Since it is not exhibiting most of these characteristics
that seem typical of the Red Sox fan, I'll dismiss your theory and
start with the accelerator pump.  But I appreciate the thought.
