And I'm still waiting for someone to bring their motor over here.  !5!

OK I'll bring mine over Fri, so you can put my new heads on. What time?

If it clunks into gear it only needs adjustment.
I actualy dove an auto stick back in 1972. Did not clunk & shifted effortlessly. I t was quite nice

It may have clunked because I had the foot on the gas...  while shifting.

Jay came over and helped me troubleshoot the motor on the Thing. I swapped the ignition out with the Pertronics 094 & coil and she indicated that it was time to start...
Jay got in there and massaged the carburetor and she fired right up! No smoke, no fire..purred like a kitten.  BO**

 Yea-aaa that Damn car sat for over 10 years and hasn't started or even tried to be started till Shawnster fired her up. It sputtered a few times, and ran tight and not even a hint of smoke. It's hard to beleive that after a 10 year nap it ran so well. Kind of reminds me of Jack  stoned#.

kept sanding and skimming the roof on Ned. I think I'm finished but one small spot needs one last sanding.

Ordered a custom exhaust for weezer. The old "monza" style has started rusting inside. I'm getting zero back pressure and it sounds like butt.

The ghia got its new filler door release.
