Hi there, I figured out some of this stuff. I've met & have known many of you for the last 20 years. Glad to see this SVO site. I met Pat when he came to Ga. to drive away my 86 SVO that I sold. Sorry about that alternator going bad on the trip home. I've been out of the SVO happenings for a while. I got my new garage up & running. I have my 85 Red SVO (that's Ford Red Mike) up on stands with the engine & transmission out. I engine is upside down on the stand. I just replaced the oil pan gasket & the front engine crankshaft seal behind the timing sprocket. I made a $5 tool from parts I had laying around to remove the sprocket. That with PB Blaster are my new best friends. The heat here is slowing me down. I have to tidy up the wiring mess by the distributor then it will all go back together. Mike I might have one or two........ ok at least a dozen questions for you later. This should be the last time.... This could be the last time... it may be the last time........wait for it.......I don't know. Oh no. Does anybody know if that guy California Dreamer is still around? I think he's a Professor or maybe a Minister. Ok more later Rick
