good point, I miss-remembered it's more like 8 1/2 with the 4" crank. I only run premium. There I go exaggerating and the finished product not a day old. Wonder if there's any hope for me at any rate it came out ok for a complete flathead newby. There is still enough skill and good advice around to let me have a dream come true. thanks.

Bill, sounds great.... Knew you would get it going.... Now we can tour the Texas Hill Country, the Spring Fling in Iowa, the Central meet in Springfield, and maybe Gettysburg..... I sure hope my ole 36 peecup can keep up with you... Ken always follows behind me in his award winning Sportsman Green Crestliner to pick up the parts that fall off Old Blue.....

Great job, love your work. BTW, how does that import job get the privilege of sharing garage space with your classic?
