Default Got my Recurve kit from Lars today!

Just got it in the mail this morning :) Went and bought a Crafstman "Professional" Adjustable timing light, this a good enough one? And while i was out i picked up a compression tester!
Was a good day i'd say :)

Going to head out and install this thing in a few minutes, looks like like fun!
Wish me luck, i'll post the results :D

he he he, i wonder if i paid for shipping, lars would crawl in a box and come do it???? :)

well it may take a little longer than usual, my girlfriend is gonna help me do it (great friday night date if you ask me)...well, now i can't say what i wanted, she's over my shoulder....let me get rid of her...

gone :)

i always get to explain every thing, and the time it takes her to get that pesky
5/16" 3/8" drive off the shelf can often be upwards of 5 minutes when i'm under the car :) he he (she's learning fast) :yesnod:

plus she tends to "distract" me while trying to work on the car... :reddevil

Working on the car is fun with my assistant. :blueangel:

Well said!!!! :lol: :lol:

Found out one little problem...there is a hole in my radiator!!! :(
When i was redoing teh support, i put it all back together, and put the wrong (longer) bolt on the left side, when tightening it down i heard a SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS looked and it had pushed into the radiator!! :(

so anyways, have to get that fixed.

Also, i found out my timming was only 5 BTDC!!!! My total advance was 24 BTDC with stock, i'm now getting ready to install lars' kit.

so far so good

:D
