Got my car back today--so I am also set to go.  Yours truly bent a push rod which explains a lot of why it ran the way it did.  I again need to commend Southern Automotive for their support.  Keith, they mentioned they were starting machine work on your baby!!!  I want to be there the day it comes to life!!  "Like a baby being born" as Bill would say!!  I also got another cast today that now doesn't let me move my thumb 
Keith, we also should run  through last minute stuff for the DSCC meeting.
