For now I'm going back in with the belt. Given The Beast and Boxster builds are underway, I don't want the cash outlay for the crankfire. Bill P. |

That is a definite possibility. That's why we are going to rebuild the disty as well. Catastrophy from a distributor issue.... What's the world coming to....
