Sorry I'm so behind, today is the first I've Heard.

Lars, you have helped me tremendously in tuning the carb and advice on keping the original distributor/carb on my 81. It runs great. Thank you.

Get well fast and we here at the shop are glad to hear your better.

Keep up the good work and god bless!!

Great news Lars. Just one look at the number of posts shows the reputation you have on this board. Here's to a speedy recovery!
side note: After reading your papers and the email help I rebuilt and tuned my HEI..It has never ran so well! So many thanks. Take time to rebuild and tune yourself. We owe it to you!
