    I know you are a good mechanic, just throwing it out there because I had a car that slowed down after I put carpet in it!

    So, what you are saying is that you have an employee that is an enabler.

    That's 36⁰ of timing, ash line is right on the bend of the electrode. I could probably go another 2⁰ but I'm pretty happy where it's at. Get this 5 speed in and see what happens going from a 2.56 first gear to a 2.87 and then I'll have a .68 overdrive for the big road!!
