Wow! What a nightmare but at least it is all sortable. Gotta wonder what hp it was putting out before that happend.


I just need a good rootes...
 
All the charts point to 300-350 bhp

Bummer. Not good.

I sorted my garage into 4 piles of stuff.
1. Stuff I`m keeping
2. Stuff I`m not getting rid of.
3. Stuff I might use..one day.
4. Stuff that might come in handy.
 
On the mend [^]
