Dave,

Congratulations on first light with the new coil! Does your tank cap use
the ceramic material you got at AS&S? Also, the salad bowl combo looks
pretty
sharp - it actually looks like its made for the top of your coil!
Where'd you get them and how'd you join them together?

Safe coilin' to ya!
