The main ain't got shit to do with the bottom. In fact it will start and idle just fine if you take out the main jets. They don't do diddley. N...

Meh.... that would be .0067. Now....I'll bet you can't tell the difference between that nad .007. But on the other hand, I like to run them on the loose side. They seem to make a bit more power there. You can calculate the ammount of cam retard you can get by opening up the clearance a bit. Look at ...

I have to agree. However it IS disrespectfull to the "Office" of the president.
I am in no way defending Mr Bush. Even I who am quite conservative, can not do that....

I have a couple of elder Ducs John I have a 77 900ss and a 64 250 Diana. Your 350 should have a Del Orto, not an Amal. It's not a Spanish Amal is it???
