Hey Jeff:

Since you were so helpful with my lug bolt saga I thought I'd second some
of the advise you've already gotton on your last three posts: re. FI fixed,
if you've alread replaced the cap and wires I'll bet you noticed a decided
improvement, re. tach for clock swap, yep' it's as easy and he sez it is,
and re. the tight radio space, I to have a Blaupunct, mine just fits, mine
does not have a removable face plate but I know they make one that does.

ps: I have a fifteen year old son who wants to be and actor, and I,bein an
artist neab to give him every encoragement and opportunity. I let him read
about the POV technique and he is aking it a Summer project, thanks again.
