Re: Crazy Rattling Noise
Darn, I would hate that. So I am assuming this would not show up and I would not hear it when it is just idling? Runs perfect or I should say sounds perfect at idle.

Re: Missing bad out on road.
Took off gas line. Took off bulb no dirt in bottom. Put bulb back on and it took about 1 to 2 seconds to fill up. Getting ready for test drive again.
Points are ok.
