Yeah - point taken. People willing to spend lots o cash on the parts but not on the know how. I know degreeing is standard - but it can only help you so much with non adjustable sprockets right?
And I still think rolling your eyes at a guy for using the Ford TSB the techs use is a bit much - but hey I'm probably just too sensitive

:rolleyes:
Well - point is really moot for me anyway as I know I lack the skill to do the swap myself. H@ll it took me 3 tries to convert from side to top feed injectors and I'd hate to blow up a $1000 3L 3 times for practice.......
Sixpipes - Terry and others here are always happy to offer help / constructuve criticism - but read the posts and you'll see poor Terry has his PM box full from requests. Brad Noon, David Z, PA3L and Micah would all be great people to ask too.
