Default Its always somthing!

So I have the weekend off work and figure I can get my new comp cams in tonight, so my buddy and I head out the garage around 3 and start workn. We were really coming along got the pulling the cams out when i noticed the sprockets on the cams i have are not bolted on so i wouldnt have a cam gear! so luckily i had saved the old npi heads and those had the sprockets with bolts all is good right.........wrong! the bolts that hold the cam gear on are the wrong size, they dont fit into the comps. I was sooo mad and by this time its 1030 and nowhere is open to find a bolt that will fit! I was soo mad, I probably woulda had those cams in and been driving it now!

It'll be sweet when she's done and your damage to 99+ GT's will be funny. Every 94-98 GT in my area gets taken to school, I ran up on a yellow 98 GT one day and we raced...so close. I would always pull him 1st & 2nd gear and 3rd he would catch right back up and inch by me, found out he had a 99 Cobra swap [&:]
