since tranny fan was mounted between and behind seats i incorperated a cover for it into my center console. makes it a lot quieter and keeps the heat down i hope in summertime. i did reverse polarity and flipped "s" blade to blow thru toward back but idk which orientation it will end up as

working in garage always is good therapy for me. really clears ouut the cobwebs. i assume its the same for everyone else. anyway, order me a dist/ coil, plugs and wires and ill be firing the beast up. pretty exited, some guys i use to wheel with a lot are goin in a few weeks and i die a little inside everytime i cant go. so maybe next trip ill be ready.

anyone know anything about spark plug gap if running on propane?

You ain't kidding...

Just a guess on the plug gap, but I vaguely recall a one step "hotter" plug being appropriate... something about the codes on the plug... As I believe C3H8 burns slower, that theory doesn't seem to set off my BS meter...

That painter on your avatar pic paints happy clouds and trees! I used to watch him a few years back and I believe he is dead now. His fro was good for holding his painting supplies in.

it wasnt just you but they are back now. i was thinking no matter how long i stared at that red x i still didnt see a buggy

The painter name is Bob Ross, with his soft speeking tone and drawn out words I think he may have enjoyed a happy little smoke before each show. Funny thing, my step father has the same fro.... priceless!

Yeah he texted me last week. When i sold it after the tornado, i told him if he ever sold it id like first dibs. So im glad he contacted me. But i told him about the house burning down last year and other bad luck so im not in a position.

But it is a good deal. I think i had close to 20k in materials in it when i sold it to him. And its small but fits a big guy very nicely.
Thanks for the link. Now i can drool over it:)
