Weight? Pfft, I weight 115 pounds soaking wet, they don't care. Heck they didn't even care about putting me in an airborne unit.
As for mechanics, think about that real hard, if you join and you go to Iraq, you will be sitting back working on the Hummers and junk that everyone gets to take out and tear up from having fun.www.streamlineautocare.com

Yeah he's right you will do fine. Hell they are even allowing cell phones at basic now. They will seriously put about 10-20 pounds on you by the time you graduate basic and AIT. Keep shut, do what your supposed to do and your fine. They actually HELP you to pass basic, they wont just let you sit down or give up, they will push you along and pretty much make you pass which is a good thing.www.streamlineautocare.com

I dont see many custom shops anymore doing old restos and exotics. Seems like they are starting to shut down around here. I remember in California there were heaps of them and if I needed something I would take a 30-45 minute drive and find anything I needed. Over here it's different. How are you doing with business? I am guessing good enough if your still going right?www.streamlineautocare.com

I've driven trailer trucks, managed a Beneficial Finance office, worked for American Motors, ran the largest Performance Warehouse in New England (69-78) worked as a manufacturers rep for most of the biggies in the performance aftermarket, was the first guy to reproduce the Corvette knock-off wheels (1977), designed and brought to market an aftermarket block for Pontiacs (made 2806 HP w/ a pair of turbos and FI) znd for fun threw together my Seville. Currently building a higher HP engine.Buying parts I don't need, with money I don't have, to impress people I don't like

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
