my god... i started it up, exhaust from strange places and all, and just HAD to drie it. so i said, oh well, and did. runs like hell, but, it got moving quicker than the 68 does w/ only 4th gear... when i get a chance, i hink i will see if i can determine if a valve is sticking, or if i maladjusted the valves...btw, any easy wy to see if valve is sticking? just turn engine over byhand and watch the valves? thats my guess....that means i need another perosn..greaT!
oh, BTW, to whom it may concern, on monday june 10th i will not get any email, due to the freenet is moving its machines, so, i dont know if it will bounce around and eventually get back to me, or if it will just get eaten by that well known monster lurking in the backwaters of the net? hmm.. thanks for all the responses...
