    Haha, don't worry about it. It's kind of a take off of the last line Robin Williams spoke in "Good Will Hunting:"

    "Bastard stole my line."

    Classic. I'd be willing to bet he improvised that line.
    RIP Robin Williams.

    He did. That line was not in the script, and the director loved it, so he put it in the movie.

    Everything Williams did in "Good Morning, Vietnam!" was his own improvisation. Everything. No scripting, extemporaneous, totally off the top of his head.

    "GOOOOOOODDDD MORNING VIETNAM!!!! Hey this is not a test, this is Rock 'n' Roll! Time to rock it from the Delta to the DMZ!!!"

    And if you watch the two actors in their respective booths, they are not acting in their laughter. Both of them were always close to peeing themselves, Williams was so funny!

    20180418_140340.jpg so, I checked pressure pre and post filter while running at idle and revved. 6psi constant. I guess that leaves needle and seat or float issues. Also, as for the filter being a regulator, when I look through the center, it is no more than a fine screen. I tried to get a picture of that, but I'm no photographer.

    I will update when I get a chance to take the top off. I'm also working on my Suzuki samurai, a full time job, and side mechanic work. And in my free time I'm buying and selling a house, and getting married in May. I was hoping to drive it by spring, even just down the street. But at this rate if I can back it onto the moving trailer under its own power, I'll be stoked.

    If you've got a scanner, it'll photograph the innards in detail
    If it's not May of 2019 or, better yet, 2022, I'd hurry up, in that case

    Nah, may as in 20 days. Most everything it is order for that. We're actually getting married at America's Packard museam. So, that's cool.

    I was hoping that the wedding ceremony would take place inside some Packard wagon. If you want, the wedding night can take place in there, also. But, we don't necessarily need videos and photographs of that. Maybe, Denny does, since he might already have forgotten what birds and bees look like

    I don't think there's any wagons in there. Unless you count touring cars as the original wagons...

    Touring cars are better than nothing, as long as they have back seats

    Especially a Packard. My Grandpa Fred was a Packard man.
