I believe my timing may be off?
Ok I wasn't gone THAT long.
How much changed?
Didn't expect to see you here haha

Are you sure it was 180 off? Carb backfires are from having the timing way too advanced. The spark event is occurring while the intake valves are still partially open. Did you do any work that would affect cam timing?

I can't wait to tell my wife how gay he is, next time she insists on watching that movie.

Of course, she won't care either.

The next day in school after watching that show, we'd be relentless with quotes:

Up your nose with a rubber hoses!
Oh Yeah? Well, up your gizzard with a rubber lizard!
Joe mama wears army boots...

And on and on...

See, no lingering effects... Other than my abby normal brain...

Meet Igor - YouTube

Absolute classic.

She'll unease you
She has fleas too
And she has Hodgkin's disease too
She's atrocious
Sometimes she forgets to make the toilet bowl flush
She's got Kirstie Alley big fat thighs
She's got Marty Feldman eyes
