Today was a great day in the life and times of Gerry A. I got my baby back today and I want to say that not only am I so happy I could scream but that it runs, sounds and drives absolutely perfect. Almost like a dream.. Everyone involved in this "project" has been super and I want to apologize to all concerned if it seemed like I was comming down on anyone over it.. I really didn't mean to come off like that I just was so frustrated at not being able to solve the problem and when it ultimately lead to the engine locking up it was like driving a stake through my heart. My dream of 35 years had litteraly ate itself for lunch, seriously depressing. The engine builder got everything back together last week and came down to B&B this morning to "tweak" in the carb, timing and other things. They ended up putting 78's in the primary side and 83's in the secondary I believe, the plugs are a beautiful tan'ish brown and she idles and runs smooth as silk. The power valves are both plugged and contrary to some of your beliefs she doesn't lope from light to light.. both B&B and the engine builder have gone the extra mile and then some to put it back together and at last after what seems like forever I can again enjoy driving my dream, although I know it's only been a couple of weeks.. what can I say I really missed her.. There was a show this past wkend also and I just had to stop and say hi to everyone.. Of course they all asked "hey where's the little cobra?" See I'm not the only one that missed her..LOL.

Anyway, all is well with the world again, thanks to lots of effort and time from everyone. I'm also sure they all hate me severely for being such a pain but really I didn't do it on purpose, honest..
and they all stood behind it 150% for which I'm forever grateful.

Well enough for now. I need to get some sleep so I can get up early and drive my baby all day tomorrow.. hahaha. well most of the day anyway. Sure hope it doesn't rain.
