Gary; you are right. This kind of thing happened to me some 20 years ago. Alfa Romeo Giulia sprint GT Veloce (what a machine). Rebuilt the motor, but I could not get the damned thing to run right. Took it to Forristalls. Drove it there. They insisted it need s a rebuild. 2 weeks later I had to pay their labor and expenses, some $ 2500 (in 1986, mind you) and had to get a tow truck to get it home. They broke the front cover by standing on the alternator. After I replaced the front engine cover a buddy of mine made a small adyustmet to the IP rack and the thing took off like a rocket. I sued. The Court notified me that the Constable could not serve the papers. "No body here with this name". I think it's time to load the M16
