    Installed small deer repelling whistles on the Mav....realized I'd installed them backwards when hundreds of 'em followed me home...actually, I wrestled master cylinder, rod, guts, and unidentified parts from the steering column.....cried my self to sleep.

    Replaced leaking header gaskets, I think I will switch up the headers soon. Now it’s time to run a new data log with the sniper and see if the AFR reads any better

    Went to the turkey rod run in Daytona and met up with two other maverick owners. Got to walk the show, picked up a set of clutch petals and two fox body center consoles. Pretty good day!

    Pulled the starter off and ordered a replacement. I was just so happy I could get it off without having to remove the headers!
