Brian,

Try an Octura 1455 or 1457.

Thanks. Brad.

Thanks Brad, Mark Sholund says the same thing but my old K&B let go on me this weekend so it will have to wait to try that one til get new engine...

Brian,

Bite the bullet and spring for the newest CMB 45. You'll be swinging a 1657 with it and....Well............. Hang onto your hat.

Thanks. Brad.
