I'd like to know more about the guy in Rodeo your talking about since he's so close.
We planned to attack it with the carb rebuild or change out, drop in electronic ignition, change the coil (needs to be done) However the knock has me worried, if I need to get into the engine I might as well just go for it and be done with it....is this crazy...just seems to me that I remember some of the other projects....few buck here...few bucks there and eventually your doing it anyway......
But then again all of use really are doing this for the love of it...or to get away from the other half....it's sure isn't the money!
