    car insurance

    File a claim on your son’s insurance and they will subrogate the claim. Meaning they will collect the money to pay for rental and his car to be fixed including your deductible. All insurance companies suck I know I’ve been in the industry for over 12 years now.

It’s got really good compression 165 psi on both cylinders just has a hard time idling when warmed up and yes the carburetors have been rebuilt and I’ve done the link and sync Joe reeves high speed timing. It’s fine until I take it out of gear, just don’t want to...

    40 to 50 powerhead swap
