Thanks Vinnie , I'll let ya know how it runs when I get it all set .

I just hope I didn't screw anything up . This is actually my first venture into  a roller motor, but it all seemed pretty straight forward  .

HO conversion clarification questions

It is straight forward.I remember my first one.Tom (turbocoupe50) was my tech center.At that time,I couldn't have done it without him.I was NEW at all of it.A lot has changed since then.He answered questions that probably seemed stupid,but at the time,I was basically starting from scratch. This forum has been more than I could ever ask and I doubt any other forum would be as happy to answer those "silly" questions about everything. Now,when it comes to big mods,Kitz is my main source of peer pressure.Without him,I wouldn't have installed Mass Air,the E303 in the other engine,and more.Basically a drill Sgt. over the net.LOL. Daminc for primary parts support through "ONYFTA" (Oklahoma New York Free Trade Agreement), and others that I have dealt with over the years,projects,troubles,and progress.Sorry for the lengthy pledge of thanks I had to pass out,but it's because of the people here that the Sport is what it is now. Always gotta remember what it took and those who helped to get to where you are.

I have been wrenching for as long as I can remember , but I only got my first computer in 2005.
 I gotta say this forum is right up  there with my favorites .
 I was on another forum late last night and I just shake my head at the level of arrogance and condescension from some people .
 On that particular forum if someone asks a  "stupid " question the name calling and insults are unbelievable, and apparently nobody on any other forum knows anything about building engines :hick:

Just make sure the dizzy is right on because the EEC uses the little vanes on the distributor to time injector firing.;)
