<VV> Turbo Odyssey Part 22 -- It's Alive!

[Norman C. Witte]

Now I am replying to my own posts.  How pathetic.

I talked to Dan Knonkle, the guy who built the motor, and he says that I
should try backing the timing off about ten degrees.  I also got some
guidance from him on adjusting my clutch linkage.  Can't wait to mess with
it tonight....

Maybe I go for a cruise today!
