Does anyone know if there will be another Blue Ridge Bus Tour later in the year?

Yep 13 turns is ok. Putting back by number of turns is just a general guide to get it close assuming it was aligned correctly before you started.

A few weeks ago I noticed my bus was bucking and jerking a little as I drove up a hill. I read some post and got some ideas of what might be causing the problem. It was time to do some yearly routine maintenance anyway. I have a stock 1975 Bay F.I. engine. I bought new plugs, fuel filter, air filter and a CHT sensor(Has one black wire and is located below my #3 plug). The plugs and filters were a breeze. I put my wrench on the CHT sensor and it snapped off on the first turn. Panic set in as I realized my bus will not run w/o this sensor. I also am no where near as talented mechanically as some folks in FMBC. I called Mark D and Phil C and they both gave me some great advice and tips on how to fix it. I bought the necessary tools last week(another story!) and waited for decent weather. Yesterday came along and I decided to jump in. I have never drilled and tapped a hole before so I was pretty nervous. I was also lying in a very tight and uncomfortable position. Three hours later I was done. The bus fired up and I was stunned. I drove it around for about 30 mins just to make sure everyhting was alright. It ran like a dream! Thanks again to Mark and Phil!
