I'm confused over those BFG's from the get go but...now...1/0 and 2/0 are the same thing????

Mark, I believe Brian had a typo and it should be 1/0=0, 2/0=00.

Now that makes sense...now if I could only figure out the rest of them 'awts', I have the ga's down pretty good and I've gotten proficient at soldering them too!

The temperatures in the garage have been very hot this week after I get home since we have been near 90 degrees for a high. That is OK though, because it allows me to get some other minor projects done around the house.

The temperatures are supposed to be much more pleasant this weekend near the low 80's to high 70's, so I suspect that I will have enough time to install the steering hose, then the starter and go from there.

More to follow, I will post pictures of the before and after as well as I know we all love pictures.

Yes, you are all correct and I am not. I consider myself admonished, reprimanded, and appropriately (and publicly) upgraded!
