Joe:

I always try to help people avoid extra work, it stinks to have to repeat o job because you didn't know to do something else first!

As for the blot, I have no idea, maybe some one else can help with the size. Probably in there for a reason, though!

My Volvo is still somewhat reluctant to start hot and is still making too much smoke -- I will set the timing to the other mark when I get a chance, hope to reduce the smoke and low power some more. Milage is off, too -- only about 24 instead of the usual 29, but that was without AC.

Peter
