I used Dan to rebuild mine. I got lucky. I live in Hendersonville NC and he
was only an hour and a half away. I went with his "racing" ratio. I never
drove it before, so I couldn't tell you the difference. I do know my dad
would "spot" someone first gear if they wanted to race him. Meaning he
started off in 2nd.

Dan is very talkative. When he told me to "Bring it on over and we will
take a look at it", I didn't realize "we" was he and I.
