No...I just walked back from next door and they are having to modify my accelerator cable where it mounts to the carb so it will have full throttle. When they installed the tv made easy system it uses a differant bracket for the cable. Its no big deal but another little thing to be fabbed. Still got 2 hours till they and us close so I'm sure it will go home with me..........I hope :sumo:

Thanks man, I wish you guys could see me. I have a grin from ear to ear :D the tranny guys just told me that at 70mph I'm only turning 1800 rpms and at 75mph I'm turning 2000. Plus another big deal is I will finally have a speedo that works. The drive gear in the old manual trans was shot.
