Jox, if you can weld a brace to hold that muffler up. Sooner or later wagging around is going to fatigue the exhaust tubing.

Looking good always nice to have the to-do list get smaller.

The price of gas................
Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.

i have a feeling that there still might be oil leaking, and that the thing will fire. i think we got the timing right. i guess all i can do is wait and see.
