since tranny fan was mounted between and behind seats i incorperated a cover for it into my center console. makes it a lot quieter and keeps the heat down i hope in summertime. i did reverse polarity and flipped "s" blade to blow thru toward back but idk which orientation it will end up ashttp://tapatalk.com/mu/6b2ce679-8354-791b.jpg

working in garage always is good therapy for me. really clears ouut the cobwebs. i assume its the same for everyone else. anyway, order me a dist/ coil, plugs and wires and ill be firing the beast up. pretty exited, some guys i use to wheel with a lot are goin in a few weeks and i die a little inside everytime i cant go. so maybe next trip ill be ready.

anyone know anything about spark plug gap if running on propane?

You ain't kidding...

Just a guess on the plug gap, but I vaguely recall a one step "hotter" plug being appropriate... something about the codes on the plug... As I believe C3H8 burns slower, that theory doesn't seem to set off my BS meter...

That painter on your avatar pic paints happy clouds and trees! I used to watch him a few years back and I believe he is dead now. His fro was good for holding his painting supplies in.

it wasnt just you but they are back now. i was thinking no matter how long i stared at that red x i still didnt see a buggy:thumbup:

The painter name is Bob Ross, with his soft speeking tone and drawn out words I think he may have enjoyed a happy little smoke before each show. Funny thing, my step father has the same fro.... priceless!

I sent a guy your info to contact you that contacted me about mine after I had sold it. I also gave another guy your info that was wanting a chassis.

Yeah he texted me last week. When i sold it after the tornado, i told him if he ever sold it id like first dibs. So im glad he contacted me. But i told him about the house burning down last year and other bad luck so im not in a position.

But it is a good deal. I think i had close to 20k in materials in it when i sold it to him. And its small but fits a big guy very nicely.
Thanks for the link. Now i can drool over it:)
