Thanks. larry Facts are stubborn things.

Then w that (1) initial figure in hand shorten the slots to get (2) 35 total (SB) w vac adv unhooked/capped for intial and total setting then w those set more on to (3) springs then (4) hookup/adj vac adv. More on them later. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
