OK working lots of Hrs. now so working on the Dart is getting harder but have made some progress....:sleepy5: oh and does enyone no where i can get a stock water neck in stead on the chrome unit?

you could always sand blast the chrome off and paint it, it would look better than a crappy cast one....especially with that STR-12 sitting up there. Very nice

Ah! its a long story but the short is there are two one at each end and they are to fine tune the balance.:smile:
