Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well I just flushed 20 bucks down the drain in the Kentucky derby. Let’s see what happens
 
Got a bit done on the car... not as much as i should but it can wait.. giving up on the timing light.. something isn't right and don't know what.. gonna use the old ping method for now
 
it's like the mark is off 2" but i checked it like 3x... gonna actually check if maybe the tape is wrong or something next time i head out there... 28* idles like **** and bad response.. using a vacuum gauge it makes more and gets happier all the way to like 53 with amazing response.. and couldn't hear any ping/knock just brake torquing in the garage.. no idea whats up with it... got my headlight bezels on finally and took slack out of the throttle cable..
 
My day today: building a mobile chicken coop aka tractor

Not liking my lokar knock off throttle cable.. kinda thinking of going to a stock one and using the cable kickdown still.. my throttle is super stiff which i think a lot of it is the trans kd from the heavier spring in the tf2 kit.. i just don't trust this cable end to not come off, hate how it's held in. Trying to find a cable end that lets the cable go all the way through and use a collet to hold it

I’m not a fan of either of them

yeah, never had a stock one fail and i don't trust this one. Gonna see if i still have my original cable and bracket, don't think the poly will fit the la bolt pattern on the intake though. might look for a new one.. gonna have to cut it up and make it fit anyway.. talking to myself a lot here :) gonna go put a pizza in the oven.. trying a different brand

With a little modification, the stock poly cable and bracket can be made to work just fine. Been there
 
Took the old truck and my Scamp for a drive today and sure was nice.
Cleaning the dust and garbage out of the garage and I will wash the dust off my car and truck tomorrow.
