    has anyone ever thought about running 2 alternatures, if so any ideas on how to wire?

    Big power loss when warm

    Hense why I mentioned a rich carb-choke condition. If you are truely into reading plugs, then you need to shut it down at full speed, let it coast somewhere safe, or trailer it home, and read them then. Plug conditions change as engine rpm changes. That's why NASCAR shuts them down on the back...

    Legislation to Repeal Old Car Emissions Exemption Reintroduced

    You know, after I got my 65 in a 70 mph ticket, I came to realize that Cali is THE most Fubar'd state we have, and if some day it slides off into the sea, well, we still have 49 more. We could let Puerto Rico in and wouldn't even have to change the flag. I don't want anyone to die. That is not...

    slight popping and backfiring

    How do you know it's from both sides? Did you have them put on an H pipe or some other crossover? New exhaust doesn't mean squat. Maybe you had a moron installer. Points mainly cause a miss, liike aplug was fouled. Not a pop. Timing too far out will pop and backfire through the carb. We really...
