3 This has actually been fun. I’ve learned a lot. It’s back together, and I’ll see if it runs shortly. You’ll notice I’m now using a large port head. I even kept TVIS. Not that it’s what I wanted… more because I cleaned my small port head with degreaser. It really didn’t like that, and now all the parts that need […]

2 I think this picture looks good…for something to come off an iPhone… I might have to come make another camera purchase. The doors on the barn have finally unfrozen (half at least) and I let the car sit and idle while I once overed all the bolts and tweaked the alignment in preparation for being out on the road this […]
