How to??

Today I installed the limiter plate and springs from FBO. I am running 16 initial and set the plate for an additional 18 for a total of 34. On startup I had my 16 initial but under throttle it was slow to come in and went above 40. Also I got some backfire for the first time since I started it. Tomorrow I will pull it back down and move the plate to 16 and put in weaker springs to see if I can make it work. I am still a little unclear if I connect the VA after I get this part done. It does want to run like a hot rod and that makes me happy, sounds really strong and all. I checked the compression again and it is coming up, rings seating I guess. All the oil leaks are fixed and it runs at 200 degrees at 2000 RPM. Tomorrows work is all cut our for me. Still no dash temp guage or center aftermarked tach but the rest of the electrical seems to be working good. Not perfect but acceptable considering I gutted the electrical like a codfish and re-did it all-------------------------
Cheers to all, time for a shower and a libation:-)-----------------DR--------------
