Flash!!

At precisely 3:37 pm, Central Standard Time,
Billy Bones roared back to life!  He's Alive!  And
what was amazing is that as soon as fuel found its
way through all that new fuel line, he belched,
wheezed, farted, and then just ran.  I let him idle
for 30 minutes, and then replaced the oil and filter
(to get those new filings out of there!)

I've still got to refill my tranny, so Billy's not
out of dry dock just yet, but tomorrow!  Maybe.

I need to set the timing, but I can't figure it out
from Bentley.  This is an 88 2.1 WBX with manual
tranny. What's the best way to set the timing
(I even went out and bought a timing light!).

When ole Billy started up, well if I had known
how to do a back-flip in my driveway I think I
would have just done it.

Thanks for everyone's kind words of support!
