Worked on setting the static timing on my U20 which has been off the road in 20+ years.
Attempted to get her running....but, failed.
Good news is that under the valve cover things don't look too bad.

I filed the corner of my ITG filter down so it doesn't hit the clutch master. 5 minutes work, no money spent and peace of mind retained. Win!

Removed my supercharger to see that it has decided to eat itself.....
Time to price a new one. I guess it doesn't like 8lbs of boost wide open throttle going up hill for 1.5 miles.
