    Not not my doing,,, Steve has a story,, $400 ouch Steve got lucky and the CO. felt sorry for him and gave another pump.  I went down today to see the monster start up but alas the "Steve Rule" came into play BIG time.

    Nothing a little rtv won't fix. Maybe throw a washer in there.

    Here you go again, Tubo...  Hmmm bash is coming... What perfectly working part can I swap out to make this car inoperable??  ABDFI  or... See you in the Honda again!

    Mine hasn't run since Thanksgiving...  Hopefully I won't drop the new pump when it gets here.  Having one overnited from MSD.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    BB is VERY proud of you, Corky.  If the AC works, Jean will even be prouder of you.

    Why are you swapping the pot?  That thing ran great all the way to T-Ball and back...and got over 20mpg running at 75+ most of the way.
