Sorry, I don't have a computer at home. It's ironic because I work as a computer programmer. I receive a lot of e-mail at work. All of it from Alpines(at)... and a support group for a malade that my daughter has. My boss has been very understanding so I rarely e-mail out. I plan to go further into debt in the next few months and buy a system. But I have to pay off Christmas first! I'll probably buy a scanner while I am at it.
When I finally set myself up, I'd be glad to send out some of the more interesting tidbits. As to the P.J., I have no idea. I use Prestone 50/50 with local water. Baton Rouge water is very soft and pretty clean, though not as clean as it used to be. My problem is that it runs too cool. I have a Weber on a Sr. IV, water-jacketed, intake. I just don't get it hot enough to burn the fuel properly.
