Hi Kevin,Must have really been a satisfying experience to drive the A to the job and have others appreciate what you have done.Congratulations ! I will add to the crow foot discussion that you need to be sure that your crow foot can handle 55 ft lbs.According to the Snap On catalog, most cannot. I guess you can end up simply spreading the foot.

: Hi Folks,
: It's almost time to do a final torque on my head nuts.How do I torque the #1 nut just to the side of the distributor?I would think a crow foot wrench with an extension but I'm not quite sure.I really would rather not remove the distributor to do this but I can't get a socket wrench on the nut with it in place. Any and all suggestions appreciated.No profanity please!
: Thank You,
