Joe - Nick,
Thanks for the input. Bottom line, sounds likes that's the sounds that'll be
there.

Now, if I can just figure out why my tach doesn't work right..... if ya missed
the previous posts on this, I have a new Crane HI6500 ignition and PS20 coil.
Now tach, both in car and shop tach, won't go above 1500-2000 rpm. Seems to be
reading correct and steady at idle, but above won't go much and is erratic.

Any help or ideas???

Cheers,
