Don-What a hassle that was. It was a computer compatible issue. The computer was set up to recognize a magnetic pick up distributor, which I had in it for 4 years. When I decided to freshen the motor up I set it back to Vertex to have it checked. they called me and said they have a new one that used an internal coil, would I be interested in trying it. I was able to clean the motor up a little by getting rid of the coil and the wiring. But it used a different style of signal that my computer didn't recognize. So after a week of tearing this thing apart, the blower has to come off to get the distributor out, we finally figured it out. Vertex was really good to work with, they did everything they could to help.
Dave- You can come out here and bring all your drawings of what you want to build and you can use anything I have, if I don't have what you need I have friends that do. You can stay with us and I give you my wifes car to drive

Steve- When is your next visit? I hope you can have more time for car stuff next time. There is 580 miles on it. It's mostly sitting, I haven't given it any time.

Ken I'm going in for a surgery on my palate in one month. Will be out of work for a few weeks eating up my sick time and vacation. I hope to be out your way next spring though! Who knows by then I may have made some progress on the truck!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.
