    Licking a spark plug should be fun with the MSD. I want to see that.:)

    I've got my money on the MSD. But, we could sell tickets and go for best 2-out-of-3 to keep it fair and profitable.

    I once saw an MSD arc go from the wire held at it's full length above the motor. Cracked me up...needless to say I wasn't the one holding it!

    Hey i never said the car was going to be running when i licked the spark plug. thats just mean. but you gotta taste the carbon deposit to get a good read of how its running. maybe if Tony would do this he would have his car tuned already.

    Just got an email. The timing system at SIR is not working properly and has to be sent back to Compulink. Racing cancelled this weekend. They are not sure how long it will take to fix it.:)

    That's where I screwed up Ryan! This thing would have been tuned by now if I just had your advice.

    Yeah Don the race will probably be postponed until October 2nd! Just let Ryan know, I'm sure that he'd be glad to change the date of the meet. :rolleyes:

    Just shows how scarce the parts are these days and how bad somebody wants them. Atleast you got those tailights right?
