          Still working, going to the cardiologist friday. Arteries are closed down over 50%, or more. They handed me some nitro tablets and gave me a release to go back to work??????????? Ok, last monday after a 14 hour day, getting ready to go to bed, I started to have an uncomfortable feeling in my chest that was like radiading out ward, so I took some nitro and it faded away. They say my heart is good just slow down??????????? Wished I knew how. So I'm looking forward to Friday and ready to ask some questions.

            Thank you, I'm getting closer. Got to finish the dash, the it will be time to do the wiring, and finish hooking up the fuel injection. Getting 40 years of dirt off was the real headache. It started with a locker and seals for the front end. Then a custom radiator, so it wouldn't run hot this summer. And hell 8 more bolts hold the engine in place. And then my wife said she wanted injection, and what kind of man would I be to deny her. Then 40 year old wiring to handle two electric fans and fuel injection? So that got all taken out. And if two hundred horses was good then more should be even better. The valve covers are Mickey Thompsons, and they are about 40 years old. The air cleaner has been sitting in the tralier, and to show you how old it is, it says made in taiwan. Going to try and have it done for Super Chevy next year. That should be a hoot, Kevin. Oh and I can honestly that the aluminum radiator has definitly kept the old girl from over heating this summer. Since its been in the garage all summer.

              Kev, take care of the ticker buddy, you got to enjoy that mighty pretty toyoter a lot longer.
              The only heart ache you need is when you bang it up at the hammers.
              The ole girl is looking mighty pretty
