"Any questions?"

Are you ON your meds Paul, or OFF them?

Mikes advice for timing is right on at 16..I like 14 but I'm older and more conservative. Try to get the fuel pressure at or around 40PSI at idle with the vac line to the regulator unpluged (that's provided your running an adjustable piece) if running stock regualtor then your just fine.
Oh and try to remember...the police will hear you coming a mile away...BE CAREFUL..chicks come and go, but rediculously high insurance premiums can last a lifetime

yea i mean if anybody had questions about the car or the setup or what not lol - yea - thanks for the timing info - i am not trying to get allllll the horsepower out of it, and why would my insurance change? i've been paying insurance for this car since i blew it up, i never actually took it off the road - might even be emissions exempt this year, there has been less than 5000 miles on it -

and guy from downing town, we gotta meet up - i wanna see ur car- and thanks fellas

He was refering to getting tickets with your new (louder) exhuast.... Cops love pulling over the loudest car on the road.

Actually I was refering to him and the "girls" that he was looking to meet up with..VERY often when the girl in the little skirt in the seat next to you wants to "go fast" your thought process can become a little..um...affected...if you know what I mean. As for Mike's response..you do without a doubt have a few yrs on me (we've discussed that before ) I just find I tend to be a little conservative with my ways as I get older. By the way Mike...pictures of the daughter...for daggar of course, would be most appreciated..just kidding my man, just kidding.
