Rdrunnur - glad to have another skilled hand to guide me/us!
Robert - do you happen to have a drill press or a die grinder in that "garage" of yours?
Once we test fit friday night, I have a strong feeling Ill need to cut off my choke tower for clearance. (who needs a choke anyway!!)
2 home methods would be the grinder - or a drill press with a cutting wheel bit will work great too!! I will bring my dremel and cutting wheels just in case...
Thanks!
Mike

There are one or two people that need to pull the manifold. They might want to come by the night before and pull it off and put it back on so it can dry overnight or wait until late Saturday and finish the car Sunday morning…

Guys
Sorry but it looks like I am going to have to bow out for this weekend. I was really hoping to get together and meet some of the local folks, learn some more about my car and get some help on some small projects.
BUT....wedding and fiance take precedence given a few short weeks left.
If something changes, I will let you know but for now, I am out.
Sorry and good luck to everyone.

Oh well, hopefully there will be many more events this summer. Sucks, though, because I could really use some help with the new distributor.

I think you missed it!
He's leaving for a long weekend in New Orleans for his Bachelor's Party. Accordingly, he doesn't have a wife, just a fiancee'. He needs to ensure that once he gets married that he gets his "Corvette Time" with the boys (and girls).
