Glad to see you got home safe. But then again it was your lucky day yesterday in the fact that I just happened to have had all the tools, talent, and parts to get your brakes fixed.
As to changing push rod tubes, that would be a bigger operation and would require anesthetic (lots of beer) and at least 2 or 3 young busty nurses to wipe my sweaty brow. God was it hot yesterday. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drooley.gif) Brit now has me thinking of swapping my existing FI system not for carbs but a Mega Squirt system. Are there any links or places where there is information regarding what all it takes to install one, and where best to buy one what the final price will be?

It was fun. Hot as hell and humid too. It was like walking in somebody's armpit on a hot day. |

I just got back from Dayton, too!
I was doing a couple of shows for the National Aviation Hall of Fame. They were enshrining the new inductees this weekend. One of the shows was in the Air Force Museum at Wright - Patterson AFB. It was a bitchin' place! |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Wish we would have known you were in the area, we would have thrown another steak on the grill for you.
I have your tires and wheels on my teener now, look and work great, that is when the car runs. |

I'm glad the wheels are working out for you. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Our trip was all work (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) about 80 hours in 5 days (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) |
