Thanks Guys for all the good words. It just goes to show what you can do with the help of the forum. Without everyone & Lars I never would have done such a good job. On top of that it runs like a Bat out of Hel*. Hope to see everybody at the Orlando show this weekend.

Jeff, that is a mech water temp gage that installed in the right side head where the plug is. Here in South Florida you can't be too safe with motor temps. There's no 12v to it, only cost about 30 bucks and it let me try 4 different sending units for the gage inside and finally I found one that matched the temp on the mech gage.
