<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">"Previously, I told you I was having issues starting the car. Well, seems when they media blasted the car to remove the old paint, they put a black, hockey puck style plug in the exhaust to keep the exhaust
free of debris. I didn't see it when I reassembled the exhaust to the car. I even dropped the muffler, ran tubing up the exhaust pipe, pulled the tubing back out of the tail pipe, measured it and determined the exhaust was not blocked. Seems my measurements
were off by about an inch. So, after hours and hours of cam settings, timing chains, valve timing and such, I re-checked and sure enough. Just a plugged exhaust.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
