Hey Jeff:

Since you were so helpful with my lug bolt saga I thought I'd second some of the advise you've already gotton on your last three posts: re. FI fixed, if you've alread replaced the cap and wires I'll bet you noticed a decided improvement, re. tach for clock swap, yep' it's as easy and he sez it is, and re. the tight radio space, I to have a Blaupunct, mine just fits, mine does not have a removable face plate but I know they make one that does.

ps: I have a fifteen year old son who wants to be and actor, and I,bein an artist neab to give him every encoragement and opportunity. I let him read about the POV technique and he is aking it a Summer project, thanks again.

RC
