Wheelskip came with me to help out.

Started the L88 Install last Sunday with only 3 days to work on it before NOCC show in Ohio.

Here it is at the NOCC show on Thursday. Had to adjust the clutch, timing, and add "day-2" NOS mallory plug wires at the show.

thanks to Van Hurst, Jeff LoSapio, and Robert Voges for helping me at the show!

Also Phil Woj got a little dirty and scratched up helping with clutch adjustment.
Thanks Phil, your L89 is awesome!

I forgot to add that I also converted to manual steering and a vintage Ansen 2-Piece scattershield.

Very, very cool, Jim! It was nice just randomly running into you at the gas station here in town!

Many thanks also most importantly to Greg Cullum who sold me the new powerplant!
