Re: Battery charging question
the newest thing I did was to buy a solar charger, mounted it to the roof of my enclosed trailer, it is a trickle charger so the battery is charging all the time when the sun is out, being in Florida it is quite helpful.

Re: New manifold rules in GCR
Just a thought,
is it a possibility that the excess bronze is there to bring it up to the min weight, because of material removed from the inside? an illeagle manifold, thinned out so much that weight had to be added to get the 24 oz?
just a thought.
