Thanks...Yeah it's just abit of fun I like tinkering and fixing things..Did i take measurement of anything no I just used (that looks about right) haha, but i did try and not change the port timing to much mostly I just went wider with ports...I will be advancing the timing by about 10 degrees..And I have a few mods to do to the carby yet but if all goes well it should run fine on 98...
