Just brought it home on Sat and trying to figure out what we need to get it mobile so I can start driving it. Thanks! | | |

Never have to set the points again and much hotter spark. Give em' a call and they will tell you exactly which part number unit you need and usually under $100.

He doesn't want me calling him to come rescue me when the points faul out. we want to keep it as stock as possible. | | |
