I got home at 1330 after 14 days of 10-12 hour shifts on San Jacinto. When did you come by??

0900 rang the bell with no joy, put a card in your box instead.

Mika01, The valve springs were installed by the race-shop that built the heads so I'm not sure. The stock springs were too light so they swapped them out to support a 3* valve job.

For the rest of it, I'll have to answer later ... So far it's been running on idle at the initial timing I set on the dizzy when I stuck it in there, which is? Dunno? (OK, so I goosed it a few times just to hear it roar :? ) Haven't stuck a light on it or run the Jeep more than 20-30 seconds at a time - BUT I did find a drive shaft today for the rear =D> Tomorrow I'll clean it up slap some U-joints in it and adjust the clutch :oops: Maybe on New Years I can DRIVE it :shock: That would make my YEAR!!! :!: :t:

Good luck on the first drive. Let us know how it goes.
