well, I got access to the internet today, so...
I figured I should tell you guys the progress on the turbo 200 Falcon. been doing a lot of work to it, and I had it running and broke in the cam ( W/O turbo), sounded real nice too . but since then, I'v had a couple problems, the first is 1 of the cyl head freeze plugs is a bit leaky now, so I gotta pull the exh manifold and knock in a new set of plugs, second is the msd box went bad somehow, and I can't get it restarted, it gets everything it needs, but it dosn't put voltage to the coil. called summit, they said send it back and they would swap it out. so that's what I'm going to do. I have the turbo hot side pipe fabb'd and got a flange from napa to bolt it to the turbo, wastegate flange is installed on the pipe, o2 sensor bung is welded in, I was working on the wastegate screemer pipe ( pipe vents exhaust gasses to slow turbo spool and control boost ) when I noticed the leak. right now my internet is still down, I'm using my dads computer at our second house right now, we have roadrunner here. don't get wild blue satallite, there service sucks when things go wrong.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
