When I put Charlie the Swinger together for my teenage brat "I'm gonna put Hookers on this one. Never done them before." Read the destructions very thoroughly before I even took them out of the box. Well, Hooker left out 1 little thing, taking that fricking drag link off and feeding it through the hole in the pipes.

Well..i use the EOIC method and it makes things really quick and near impossible to mess up. That whole chart thing of turn 90 degrees 18 times and all that.. pain in the butt
Yeah I saw that. going to turn by hand though, don't feel like bumping my starter 200 times

i bought a remote switch to bump mine.. makes me feel fancy
I Wanna switch to solid rollers but at like $1000 a set... ugh... plus i think i would need to pull my heads
yeah that is what I find confusing though.................I don't know almost closed/open 200 thousands..................
I looked at remote switches but with the battery in the trunk would be a pain in the *** for connection.......................i bought a remote switch to bump mine.. makes me feel fancy

you don't connect it to the battery... one clip on the positive on your solenoid.. other on the solenoid wire...
I saw one video the guy connected to the battery........................
The pressure blows off the yearly sticker and some of the covering. They are vinyl overlay over aluminum. No stamped and painted. I have replaced it twice because of car wash damage.

WTF? Same here. Got a text for my late wife’s Faceplant account. She’s been gone 10yrs
Got a private message on Face Book from my father-in-law just now. He's been dead for 3 years.

A remote start button is handy. Or jump it with a screwdriver.that guy was wrong

plus the screwdriver gives it that cool "Caught in lightning" look eventually
You can jump it with a car key if you're in a pinch.

I just figured that is bumping my starter too much, unnecessary wear and tear. Maybe just being too cautious....................
Plus I have the MSD box and coil.......where do you hook that?

you don't.. you just want the starter to bump the motor, not start it... it just makes the starter kickin exactly the same as when you turn the key.. but with no ignition
Plus with mine, plugs will already be out, so by hand should be pretty easy other than my fan and everything so tight in the way..................
