Thanks Neil, hopefully have it all set up and running again tomorrow. It fired right up without any adjustments done to the carb and it seems to idle much better too..

Should be on the road tomorrow for a cruise, had it out today and it seems to be shifting fine. Driving 100kph (62.2 mph) it is revving at 1910 rpm which is approximately 1000 rpm less than the C6..

Hoping all the bugs are taken care of now Ken so we have trouble free cruising next summer and as many days we can squeeze out of this fall..

More great work John! You are an inspiration to people like me who are not nearly as talented at the mechanical side of our builds. I can't wait to come to Canada and meet you and your trucks! Some day it will happen...
