Happy Birthday Sparky

May you find time slows down enough to finish the Lakester but speeds up while setting the record.   :cheers:

Consider my recent PM as an early B'Day wish.

Now this is the backup so I know that I didn't miss it.

Tim about nailed it ---thanks guys

But I did gave myself a B'day present in the form of  a new set of Manley 7/16th push rods and some new rocker arm studs that will match up with my old stud girdle from my original 509---no more washers and lash caps to keep the rockers from hitting the keepers!!!!!!!!
