I like the way you described the action..never have done this sort of thing....Pinging?? Is that what we called coke bottles rattleing is that the sound I'm listening for under load and then turn just a little CW after hearing the ping/bottles noise??? Should I pull over to the side of the road and turn the dizzy or will that leave me stranded if I turn too much? Or should I take her home and use a vacuume gauge to adj. idle and then back out on the road what would you do??? Would you take the wife with you or is there a chance I will need a tow?? Sorry for the all stupid questions I'm still trying to get it all right! THANKS, Steve
