yes, I will work on it this weekend. Hey you are not that far from me. Beer is on me.

But I have a crossflow to put back into my Caterham first. Hope to finish that tomorrow.

Yes. Funny you should ask that. I just assumed the when I first put the dist. back in that it was like a stock twin cam. Did not fire it up or crank it. Went to bed thinking I would start it int the morn. This was about 3 weeks ago. In the middle of the night, i woke up and thought maybe I should check it. Sure enough, the shop had put #1 at 2 oclock rather then 10 oclock. Now I know it does not make any difference as long as you time it right, but i had inserted the dist. like #1 was at 10. As the plug wires were cut to length, I had to move the wires on the cap. But then it started right up after I static timed it. I was only off about 4 degrees when checked with a light.
