4K tach, and t-handles...

[jmbrodsky@domain.elided]

Curt, 

        Those years of school, and I couldn't come up with this
before you.  I'm going to do this myself!  The SW tach I have is 
painfully inaccurate when using only half the dial!

Thanks for the tip, maybe tonight I'll do that.

If all you want is a 4K tachometer, why not just get an 8K tach,
and run it on the 4 cylinder setting. If you don't want to 
translate rpms in your head, then get some stick-on numbers
to cover up the original ones. I got a cheapie mini tach. from
checker for about $30. I've been meaning to find some stick-on
numbers, but it's pretty easy to remember that 4K rpm is really
2K rpm, etc.

John,

        Hmmm.  Just keep in mind that the treatise you wrote on those handles
came from a job just Sunday!  You still explained it better than I would so
go ahead.  I'm still curious how Tom is going to make that one work smoothly.
My rear liftgate still closes better than any I have seen even after putting the
gate on three different travel tops in the last 8 years!  Seals out rain still 
too!  I'm going to help Mike (jr) Wethington fix his on Sunday.

Joel was bluffing. <grin>
