Neil, I suggest you spend a hundy and get Darrell Boehler to make you up
that readout kit he puts together. Then you can see all the actual
numbers for yourself and compare them to the specs in the Bentleys. That
way you really know where and what your trouble is and can do something
about it without guessing.
