both O/K, pull the upper plate put in another, install my show wires a
cap from the trunk, she just won't run, install new coil, install new
wires, pull the carbs again, Dave at the TRF says rings have not

back up the carb if to high, comp. 170 lbs across, fuel pressure 2

Ya know, Fred, you shouldn't feel bad. My neighbor is a hot rodder
(current project is a 56 Chevy Sedan Delivery with 482 rat motor
stuffed under the hood) and I have learned more from him than darn
near anyone else. And, yep, I've said the same things to him, and had
the same response, "I don't care, check the fritzalbobberthingy"
Whoa, guess what? It WAS the fritzalbobberthingy!
