Manny, the correct figure is 217 ft. lbs.
And you are very welcome.
Great hanging with you this weekend.
Glad you got back OK.
Did your wheel rubbing sound go away?
As for me, got home in great time, 3.5 hrs. show to door.
Ct. 8 to the Merritt, to the Hutch, to the Cross County, to the Sawmill, to the Hank Hudson, to the GWB to 95 to the Turnpike.
No traffic along this route both to the show on Saturday, and back on Sunday. I heard the Tappan Zee was backed up, anybody go that way? _________________ Founder and Chairman Emeritus, ECMSAS

A GREAT SHOW!!!
Even if it was hotter than the center of Hades.
AND... I got my elusive clean, no rust, no bondo sliding door. Thanks, Josh.
For all of those who gave me advice on why my bus was stalling at idle, thanks much.
I had a brain flash about 1/3 of the way home. Pulled over and checked the idle cutoff solenoid. It had an intermittent connection. Problem solved.
Hopefully I will see many of you at the http://www.allaircooledgathering.com/ in Flanders , NJ the 19th/20th of September.
And Carl, yes, I will be sleeping in the bus, so bring extra beer.
Robert
p.s. Of course, I forgot about the group picture again. Senior moment. (they seem to come more often these days) _________________ 1970 Hardtop Westy w/1600DP - "Betsy"
