It was checked on mock-up. I knew I would need longer ones at the time, but wasn't in a rush as, I still had adjustability and my primary focus was getting the car out of the college parking lot before I got a $500 ticket and impound bills to deal with. I knew I would need them soon, now I am in search of them. Mike does not have anything on his website about needing longer ones on being a possibility, and he doesn't have any longer ones listed for sale, like I had thought. So now I need a source for such a part.
I misunderstood the vacuum equation with the distributor. Or more like, got it confused from my literature. Thank you for setting that straight.
Over my head? no. I refuse too accept that. Or maybe I am, but I am doing a great deal to get my head over it. I have had a few hickups? yes, I came to the forum for assistance on those before they became issues, that turn into problems.
I suppose A little personal background would be helpful to get you and I on the same page, you are a Veteran at doing this, I am trying to teach myself with the help of the College, and books by Vizard and Smokey as well as this and other forums. This is only my fourth engine build, and the first that I did not go strictly stock on. I am a younger person, without fifty years of wisdom behind me, but in order to build such wisdom I need to dive in and try things, I need to be able to ask questions and get an explanation rather than just a shut-down "your wrong" reply. I knew that this was going to be a rough project, And I am being patient and absorbing everything that I do and learn so that it can be used in the future.
I also saw no point in making a new thread for after installation because this was easier for me to refrence rather than a thread for every step of the process.
Right now, $90 is on the "it'll have to wait" list, not out of the budget by any means, but if I can bandaid it for a couple weeks, I will, if not, I won't drive the car until it is done. I have no problem having someone do my Recurve, it is expected, because I don't have the tools to do it and I wouldn't attempt it until I knew what I was doing with every thing I changed.
Okay My apologies for the long winded response, but I feel that understanding each other is somewhat important, especially since you, FSD, been one of the biggest helps to me so far. I thank you for the bits of advice, I would still be stumped without it.
Okay now that my whole yaddy yaddy ya is over, where could I find a source for pushrods? haha
