Ok guys i know i have asked this before and it seems that i need to ask again. I went today and got a new distributor and carb rebuild kit for the 30 pic. What need is someone with a timing light and the know how to help me put in the new distributor and get everything running correctly. I understand the principles of the work but do not have the ability. If there is any one it would be great........ Rob

Sorry, Kill...
I'm buried up this weekend as well.

Besides, David and Jim trained me years ago on the pay scale that states the fee for me showing while you watch is actually more pricey than if I just fix it for you... :lol:

I look at it this way. If i have to do it myself i will either learn what to do or not to do or the car will be put back together and still sitting in the same place till i can get it running like it should be. Just so it is running great by Bugapalooza April. ..........I would hate to have to push it from Ooltewah all the way to East Ridge. .......... :lol:

When I made that  sign, I didn't think it would last that long.  A friend of Tom Rusk took it. It did get a lot of attention. I was surprised on how many people thought it was policy .   A lot of times it should have been, even now :lol:  :lol:

Nowhere in the context does it mention that this was on a sign.  Ya know I'm tired of you and your girl thinking you can run me over.  Imma get my boy Fred and teach ya'll a lesson.
