Re: Project wild mouse
Nope!! Too many carb mods for little savings and possibly still having to retard timing !!! I don't like retarded motors they act funny!!!!!

Re: Project wild mouse
Special thanks to you Shawn !!! If not for the midnight parts shopping it wouldn't be as far as it is . It's good to have someone around who wants to learn about this stuff instead of just buying crate motors . They are probably cheaper than what I built but you wouldn't learn as much!!!! Glad to see you got some rest and came back !!!!!

Re: Project wild mouse
Bought them at Good Guys in Des Moines don't know who makes em'. I think I know what wheels you are talking about but I don't know availability. Sorry If you make a new thread I think I saw some on a truck in here somewhere!!
