You are right dude - It did take ALOT of fiddling to get the linkage opening "correctly" The arms look alot more crooked than ythey really are, Lots of rebending of the arms, adjusting rod lengths etc but it all seems to be cool now, I planned to have it "pull/pull" set up a loong time ago thats why I had the manifolds welded up "reversed" Smiley

There is still ALOT of small things to work out but it should be done I HOPE!!!!!!! Undecided Smiley

Yeah it would look cool with an 010 but the funny thing is I have never been worried about the "look" of my 009, I think it looks kinda cool  Wink plus my friend Matt donated it to me when put in the 1641 originally Smiley

For once NOW THIS WILL SHOCK EVERYONE I am gonna stick with my 009/electronic ignition Shocked It has worked FAULTLESSLY since I fitted it - wind, rain, off road and general abuse - It has taken all I can throw at it, it doesn't really standout as a "modern part" it blends in and I don't think you really notice it what with everything else I have goin on  Wink Smiley

more proper pic's tomorrow (no more crappy cell phone I promise!) Smiley
