Are you sure? That made the most sense to me, but the wear marks definitely say that the pins were trailing. But I'll give it a try anyway. Got the car running on the road last night, Minus the fact that If I used the brake to completly stop, it died. But it was pretty cool! This is my first gas car, after last night, it wont be my last. One question though, is it normal fo the car to last only about 5 min on a tank of gas? prolly 50\50 between full throttle and idle. Thanks again...........
