Well after beind kicked off the list by the automated server and now finally
back on, I have added some new quirks to the list of things I want to take
care of.

I have noticed occasionaly that if I am cruising in 4th and let off of the
accelerator that I get some wicked backfires. It has only done this in 4th
until recently now it is happening in 3rd as well. I suspect a leak in the
exhaust but I have not been able to dig into yet.

This weekend I plan on doing a lot of work engine wise. Removing and
replacing the exhaust is one, as I am going to remove the heads and reseal
all that I can.

Anythingelse I should check, this backfiring occurs no matter what grade of
gas I use as well.

Thanks,
