Awesome boat, Linn! :thumbup:

Thanks, Jason! Actually, that's a good reference...I'm not looking for a cheap used...just CHEAP! Plus, Jeg's is a about as cheap as I've seen for Flowmaster mufflers, so I may just buy these two items!

Just put it back on... I'll take you up on the visit! Let me know what works for your schedule...

seT it by ear. I need to borrow someone's timing light...

Brand new FP. Uhhh...good call on the $3 filter. Though, it definitely smells like unburnt fuel while it's cranking.

Thanks, brotatoe. I just picket up a new Accel Super Coil at Advance yesterday for $28. But...I'm now out of town for the rest of the week. We'll see how the weekend pans out with the new coil.

Does Ohio get uppity about the license plate being mounted that way? Cool looking bike, BTW...

Gah...work firewall. Will check it out later.

What cable?

Looking for a generic tachometer that could go into my Ford truck. I would likely mount it on my steering column. Needs to have a setting for a 6-cyl engine. Thanks!

FRIDAY: I get back from Pennsylvania, and immediately balance digging into removing the T18 4-speed bolted into the truck, and also taking care of the family. By 6:30pm, I had the trans out - feeling optimistic - but it took until 1am to get a new 3-speed floor shifter bolted onto the old RAT-H 3-speed and get it back in the truck. driveshaft back in as well, and everything (except speedo cable) bolted in, ready to go! I spent a long time on the shifter: after looking at the design of how the shift tabs and linkages are supposed to go, I ended up reversing the shift tabs (hanging down instead of vertical) and fine-tuning the neutral-gate setting. I've driven a few of these floor-shifter conversions and I've never felt a better setup that what I have now. Really nice, snickety-shifting action. I hope it holds up. SATURDAY: Missing a couple of last minute items, I go to Cars and Coffee in my Passat. By 10am, it starts raining. It never stops. 6pm, my wife and I go to an Ovarian Cancer Association fundraiser. No work for today, but I'm eyeing the "sunny and 80" forecast for Sunday... SUNDAY: After church, I finish a few things and fire up the truck... SUCCESS! SHE'S A DRIVER!!! Clutch takeup is beautiful, and after a run around the block, I take off down the street. PROBLEMS: I can't get her to idle, and runs prety rough. I filled up the tank with fresh gas, but the idle is doo-doo. After it's warm, it cranks and cranks without firing, right until you let off the key and then it spits momentarily. Then, crank it again and it stumbles to life. Also, when I'm going on a steady speed, the engine note changes tone slightly. I'M PRETTY CONVINCED IT'S THE STOCK COIL or DISTRIBUTOR GOING BAD. Sparkplugs look tan and show good coloration, if not a little on the rich side. Gonna replace coil/dizzy next (cheap, and look like they could be retired from duty!)

Awwww!!! I met that guy in the Mk2 Rabbit at HD a few weeks ago...sorry I missed the "Like a Sir" VW! Weather was not the best...rain at 10am. Thanks for everyone who came out! It's Ohio...ya can't get sunshine and 80degrees every Saturday.

GIB YA 500

great intro. Welcome!

Bumpity? Truck's moving on it's own power now...

Sorry doods...still working. Taking a dinner break. It's getting chilly!

T18's out of Cleetus. If I get the three speed back in before 10, I'll be out.

Welcome! Where in UA do you live?

I <3 Tilley. ...and now we know the REST OF THE STORY... Paul Harvey. Good day.

EEEEEEASY THERE, TRIGGER I don't have anyone in my neighborhood smoking on their front porch during the middle of a work day. I don't get guns pulled on me. My 2000 Camaro would not be the nicest car on my street. If I have beef with a neighbor, we talk it over WITHOUT resorting to giving each other the bird. For not caring about what CR thinks, you sure do care about what we think!

Funny thing was that right after I shook her hand, our light was still green and there were 2 CPD cars and one sheriff cruiser waiting on Marconi for their light to turn. I noticed they were all in a line, looking at the two of us pulled over. I went... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ...got in my Passat, light turns red, and I drive through the intersection anyway in front of them. Cops continue eastbound towards the Courthouse. :fuckyeah:

GRRRR BRB LEAVING FLAMING BAG OF POOP WITH MY ADDY ON HIS DOORSTEP BECAUSE GR8 NEIGHBORS LOL

I'm coming back from a lunch appt...at the corner of Rich and Marconi Blvd downtown. Light turns green. POW!!! I get REARENDED in the Passat. My head hits the headrest. Even the person on my cell phone heard it (though, of course, I wasn't driving in City of Columbus with a cell phone to my ear)! I get out, and it's a '00s Mercury Sable. Cute-ish 20-something girl gets out, is freaking. She has 4 other friends in her car, they all have OS faces on. I'm good, she's shaking and babbling about how sorry she was. I'm staring at my bumper like David Caruso. I couldn't find a SINGLE F*%KING SCRATCH. I have a layer of dust and pollen on the entire rearend from driving all over the place this weekend...I go from one side of the car to the other, bottom of the bumper up to the trunk lid. NOTHING. She asks me if I want her info. I shook her hand, told her to be careful and have a great weekend. WHO NEEDS MOAR DRAMA IN THEIR LIFE, AMIRITE? +1 to Kevin Clifford for a Mercury-proof tough paint jerb on my bumper! :thumbup:

YOUR MOTHER

LOL @ Steven Seagal. The voice sucks though...
