Thanks Jarrid,
I need to talk to Bob about what cam he put in the engine. I seem to
remember that he said that he put a Series V oil pump in so that would mean
that he needed a Series V cam. I am just really confused right now. Not that
that is a different state of mind, but I need to just stop and take a look
at the car and see if I can make sense out of it.
