Yeah i had put it in "storage" and it had some surface rust. I seem to think it may not have been in that great of shape. I've had it for years. I bought my car in 93 and it came with it. I ran it briefly and liked the lopey idle but it was very responsive when the throttle was opened. I was younger though now I want streetability on pump gas. I suppose Id like two engines, one street able and one street strip or full out strip. I dunno life is short...decisions:)
