Thats what I like to see, getting the engine in and having it run perfectly in only 4 days. You guys rock. Congrats on a car done right.

We've experienced this in the past. There was once a decent amount of CA owners in the Orlando area, but most of the old school have moved on to better things. Maybe the next generation can hold the fort down or they too will be answering the call of my sig.

what is "better." O well I will hold the fort down. if nothing else I can always take it apart and build it better when it does start to try and be a pain

You remember how you said extra grounds are always a good safety thing
