whats requierd and than go 2 gages larger, except on my hot wire and water

that's why I found the $300 number, for me, high. Of course I don't get much
into mega bucks on any part of my car unless I really think I need it.
Carello rods sure can't hurt but Crower rods cost about half as much and
have worked fine for me so far. Throwing money at it isn't always making it
faster. Rich
