keep the maintenance up
Oh, I'm aware. I wasn't the subject of that other thread... just making sure you're aware

haha, I have had rotories in my blood for almost 15 years! Damn Im getting old! rebuilt, ported, tuned, raced and ofcourse worked on, Im a big first gen guy and have the scars to prove it hahah! Got my 83 street port 12a with a holley 600cfm in my back yard, just waiting on me to get some time and a master cylinder to get her running, its been too long

before I street ported it, I had the holley tuned to run 9.5 sec in the 8th mile on a stock port.
