[DMCForum] Re: Mmmm. Fire good!



Congratulations. I'm glad I'm not the only one. 

About that paint: I don't know if you read the can, but some of that 
stuff requires "curing" in an oven, OR heating by your car. The 
problem is, it's supposed to be done withing an hour of spraying it 
on. Not months. :) Then again, some brands don't.

The RPM relay is supposed to click and cycle the freq valve and pump 
for 1 second when you turn the key.

I'm glad you were able to do all that and not have to mess with the 
timing like I did.
