Back in '07 maybe '06. I had the column lock issue or may end it was the emergency brake not working. Well it was probably both but, my point being I message Bill. He had a couple day delay in responding. That's because he had to go in town to check his email as he was in Central America or something refurbishing a submarine

Obviously I wasn't complaining ab It the couple day delay. I was more impressed with the fact that he spent some of his very little free time in town to help me out. Super knowledgeable and super kind. Let's hear it for Bill Curlee! DILLY DILLY

Bill spent time over the phone with me regarding my heads and cam project. Gave really good insight and advice.

I started the car for the 1st time on new years day and what a proud moment that was !

Thanks Bill for your valued contribution to our C5 community !

Agree. I've learned a lot from the answers he gives to others and have "stockpiled" a lot of his insight for future needs I may have. A class act!

So is there a write up on the ignition switch? I have a voltage drop or I
guess current drop at my Amp gauge. My alternator's output is fine, but the gauge reads low. I thought I read somewhere it could be the ignition switch?

I read many of his posts and truly appreciate him taking the time to write them up and help others. Today I checked my ground blocks and the connections at the starter. Found that the starter wire nuts took a little snugging - THANKS BILL
