I rebuilt and cleaned and refilled the pumps, cleaned the brackets, ran new battery and primary cable, media blasted and repainted the battery boxes, replaced all the line clips, replaced the bilge pumps and repainted the entire bilge.

I didn't know that you got hurt. Are you ok? Tell me it wasn't a motorcycle accident.
Dyno results are pending.

I had a friend who broke his collarbone in a bicycle accident, but it was 1973 and involved a ramp, a red wagon, a sidewalk and a cape.

I learned a lot about ramp building that day.

He broke his collarbone even with a cape? That must have been a really bad ramp!!!

I was 7. The Evel Knievel kid was around 11. The ramp looked ok. But for safety, I wedged a can of Raid under it as a supporting column. I didn't really factor for the ground speed of the bike as it hit the ramp.

The cape came in handy as a sling as we walked Harold back to his house.

That's a strange mental image. Kinda like the flashback memories I had after 3 weeks of Oxycontin. Yes Paul, we are planning to be at St Clair. Just not by boat. Are you racing a boat this year?

Think I'll just visit the Evil Knievel display at the Harley museum.
Less painfull

Thanks Tim.

I made the stuff on the bulkhead super tight, but left the 12v a little loose on the stringers heading to the blocks because they may need to reroute a little. I am adding oil coolers and high capacity pans.
My buddy is doing the intermediate shift cables before the shoehorning begins.
Added another "mightaswellas." The old rockers and pushrods looked like crap. Mightaswellas.....
