Tuesday was supposed to be the day for Ken to have that Caddy roaring. I did not see anything from him. I suppose he is busy getting everything tidied up for his trip to Montgomery. To coincide with that engine firing we have one sitting on the west coast just waiting to fire. It is not Jim's either but very close to his shop. Can't wait to hear about both of these new engines. I can keep secrets but not forever.

Nope, I didn't make it. The exhaust system took a lot more trips to the
muffler shop to get those two little pipes to fit than I thought possible.
Still got a few other things to do also; I MAY make it tomorrow.

Manny, how about you, did you go ahead without me at 12:00 PST yesterday?

i re-built my first Whizzer motorbike engine when i was 13 and to this day nothing excites me more than hearing an engine crank up after a rebuild.

Fred,

It scares the bejesus out of me cause I'm always sure I forgot to do
SOMETHING or I did SOMETHING wrong! ;-)

Fred, I am with you. Was 12 when I overhauled my first go cart racing engine. My dad could not believe it when it started on 3rd pull. One of the things I enjoyed at Miguel's was the firing up of a Jasper and then our's.
