it runs =D
the catch, im too lazy to make a video, it doesnt have a hood, and yeah, the lazy part =D and im gonna take it easy for a little while, i will have a burnout vid soon enough
basically the story of my day
i wake up at 9:30, go down to see if it will start after the new batt cable was put on, lo and behold it starts right up, loping a teeny bit, but all around running good, i drive around my big U shaped neighborhood, scared the crap out of a few kids (did i mention how loud these ****ing mufflers are, i love it) i get to as stopsign on the adjacent side of the U, and take off, 1st feels nice and powerful, but i got on it in second and it kind of lost power and bogged down, i believe due to lack of a proper timing job. got home, shut it off, started it, starts up, drive around again, but this time, as im rounding the last corner before my street, it dies, and i wait for an hour for it to cool off to see if its the TFI module, its not, i coast it down the hill, onto my street and me, my dad and our neighbor push it to my haus. there after a couple of hours of trouble shooting, we realized it was a bad ground (corrosion keeping the MSD from being grounded properly) so we pull into the garage and time it, and thats where im at now
its nice mang...

ugh, that problem is still there, although my dad figured it out i hope, one of the connectors in the plug for the coil from the MSD box wasnt in all the way.... it got pushed in and it seems fine
NEW problems arise, massive gas leak on left turns, seal for the fuller tube is shot. is there anything i can do to prevent future leakage?
