tried to install the hood. didn't go well. the new hood I got has a defect. the threaded insert that the hinge hooks to is missing. I pulled the hood back off and did a slight adjustment to the fast idle. took it for a 50 mile highway trip instead. it was great. it was dark and quiet. the motor was rumbling and all was right with the world. stopped to get gas and had a guy tell me I had a cool "time machine". the death rattle gets attention where ever we go.
