How about a strip light? You want me to ship you some lighting for that garage? Not to side track you or anything!

Well, ya see Dewey, the previous owner thought a nice big 4 bay only needs 3 single bulb lights and 1 (yes 1!!!) plug outlet.

I need to add some power to the garage but I keep spending that money on the thing that goes in the garage

BTW, Richard talked me out of buying a cam from him

No really, we're going to let Rex degree the current cam and I'll use that unless something ugly pops up.

These turbos will start to choke about 14-15psi on a front mount, so that's my boost target

Nope the pumps are all fine. The fuse blew and they stopped pumping, which means the oil that was supposed be returning to the pan went out the exhaust pipe

There's usually a buzzer when the pumps lose oil pressure, but my buzzer was dead (unknown to me at the time).
