For the sake of an O2 sensor I'd probably be looking to install one imediately - Is there a particular type I need to go for ?


Kinda depends on the gauge you intend to use it with, but probably a BOSCH 5-wire wide band.


Titsy

If I can borrow a meter to set up your carb then you won't need a gauge straight away, but I would sugest you try and get one from the same range as the rest of the gauges you use so it doesn't look out of place...

Well at least the Parcel Farce muck up was in your favour

I'm guessing the lack of charges was down to *ahem* the obviously *ahem* worthless contents *ahem*.

Things only tend to get held up when there's charges to pay.

Then there's the new Flywheel and Clutch I'm eyeing up . . . . .


Made the decision today to buy said flywheel and clutch - will order later NOW ORDERED.

However this means that the headers are now on hold for a month or more (I'm beyond out of funds) . . . but I figure it makes more sense ordering the clutch and flywheel as at means the engine and trans can go back together and in as one.

The headers can easily be fitted after.

That now just leaves headers and driveshaft in the final shipment (probably in late sept / early october).

Definitly a first!!!!!

Never had a package delivered that fast before, they're usually later than sooner!

Goes to proove it can be done..........if USPS and Parcel Farce get off their arse.

You da man.  

Seems the fairies left a prezzie in the box for me.



Next time i'm in the U.S (no matter HOW FAR away I am) I'm heading on over to South Carolina and taking You and yours to dinner and a night out.

Hell - the night could cost $1000 and I'd still have saved a fortune with Carl's assistance !



Hopefully next year, mate.
