    Don Enriques I've been looking for that name forever...
    I went to the Hilborn Factory in CA 20+yrs ago...
    Went down this weird "empty" highway, up to and left over an overpass, and there it was
    (I'm obviously not that familiar with CA)
    Don came out and gave me a guided tour of the Facilities and the History of Hilborn.
    machining, testing areas, warehouse, showed me the NEW Hilborn Electronic Fuel Injection...Carabine.
    He then told me the story about my intake...the Chrysler 340-CH-8A
    346943-1323320061-9f9e00c02fefa31c039c54a9221e132e.jpg

    They made a run of 100 intakes. And at least 25 sat on the shelf unsold,
    So they where Melted down to make other parts.
    AT the end of the tour He gave me some Cool Hilborn Stickers - Class Act!
    Mahalo Don.
