I purty much gaved up tryin' to talk any sense at Mr SKWIRLS and just go ahead and do like he say-- I don'ts even care if'n he blow hisself up when he open up dat 4banger anymore. He says he wants vacuum advance and he want a BIG chamber fer it, so dat's what these here parts were for <_< ....

IRLSignitionsystempartspainted-vi.jpg

...and here they're all welded, brazed, & glued togethers :blink: Long as he thinks it's gonna work :blink:

He been goin' on & on about what he think he gonna need fer a coil......sheesh! No details yet-- I can just imagine ( :lol: )

This is great to watch come together, it's like watching Tim Burtons' mind from the inside. Mr' Skwirly would make a great characture in a Tim Burton production spoof on the movie "CARS". I can't wait to see Mr. Skwirly finished.

Well, Mr SKWILRLS is either mellowing out coz I be spendin' more time with him, or he's just getting weirder ;) He keeps comin' up with all kinds of ideas fer his 4banger...
