You should love it, they're yours!!!
The little devil is just one of the smilies on the advanced reply options, I think he's funny!
Can you send me pics of those CMI's?
How'd the timing adjustment go?
I'm still trying to sort out timing and tuning the new carb in.
It's never ending!

Air Gap!!
The second Edelbrock Performer RPM Air-Gap I've bought arrived this week! Cost less than half of what the first one did because I bought this one off Ebay!
(The first one I bought turned out to be a rectangle port when it arrived!)
It's been fully Felpro Gasket matched and somehow via the magic of technology, all the runners have been fully CNC ported and polished, on the inside of the manifold, how the Hell do you do that?? Anyway, the manifold was brand new in the box with this porting voodoo. Couldn't be happier!
Add the 2" spacer and it looks sexy too!
I'm ordering a set of Teague tall breathers for the covers today too.
It's good to see all the old Stingers making a comeback!! I'm still trying to convince my wife to let me try and find and import a 390x or a 410!
If you don't hear from me again, it's because she's killed me and fed me to her miniature maltese!

Of all the Random things to do...
I wound up with a labbed LH Bravo 1 24P via the magic of Ebay so I thought I'd give it a try.
Boat wound out to a best of 71 mph (GPS) at 5200 rpm with a headwind before I hit some rough stuff and backed off. Easy jump up on a plane and steady as a rock. I love that prop! I think about 75mph is quite possible given the right conditions. 70 was easy with 3 people on board and a half tank of fuel. Especially given the headwinds!
I only wish I'd listened to Fastlane40 at first when he said to get a Bravo 1 initially, rather than the 5 blade, 3 blade Mirage + and the Rev4!
Oh well, live and learn.
