The fact that you even noticed makes you the racist.

Was on a road trip with my son and 4 Vietnamese co workers. We were going to Duluth Mn to paint a boat. We stopped in Missouri to get something to eat. There was a group of Red Necks who started hassling the Vietnamese. One said "Them Damn Mexicans can not speak very good English" LOL I started laughing and that did not help the matter. If you are going be a racist you should at least know who to hate. :banana :banana :banana

That is part of the beauty of extreme idiocy Billy, once you hate everyone that isn't like you, it doesn't matter if you can't figure out what the difference is exactly.

So did my mom and dad and myself at one time. Mom had been forced into retirement, and I spent most of my younger life on the post offices back dock after school. Good times.

He's working on it Bogs.
I believe we are now at the "wrong firing order" part. (see post 3)
The 6 o'clock v 12 o'clock distributor rotor was resolved with the cam being 1/2 of crank revolution, (post 15) so turn the crank another 180* to get the rotor at 12 o'clock.

Jadelao,
we'll help you solve this, sorry for the detour.
