    Off topic but that picture makes me remember it.

    Had a young man years ago that went to the local automotive trade-school. He, like many teens went to the beach every year and "cruised" the BLVD in his "souped-up" Camaro.

    This kid had dumped out his windshield washer tank, plumbed it through a check valve and to a manifold reference port on his intake.

    He then filled the reservoir with Dextron/ATF.

    Apparently mosquitos were very scarce during spring break....

    That is a great looking coil mounting solution, you should sell those plates.

    Thank you.
    If there was enough demand for them I would but to time consuming for just a couple here and there, besides my foot throttle business keeps me plenty busy.

    Fired it up this afternoon after the rewiring due to mistakes in the Merc Manual, went smooth, fired right up. Ran smooth after a few adjustments. Sorry Joe no smoke video, just forgot about it. I'll get one up after I replace the impeller I burned up during my last wiring frustration period.....

    Thanks for all the advice along the way.
