What metal screws are we talking about?

Steve Glover sent me an email and said that he'd try to get to my carb last week.  I haven't heard back from him.

of any tools we will need let me know.I will take my work bench this week.How is the 601 coming along

I fit in it, but barely. I kind of lean to the center to keep my head from hitting the canopy.

Best I can surmise, the gear box should pull in $3k at max.  It is a complete unit.  Trust me, the gears are in there.  We confirmed it.

The computer is worth somewhere around $750, I think.  Again, I search the archives, but couldn't find good info. 

I spent some time searching the email list archive, but wasn't able to find good prices for what they originally cost or what they're selling for now.

I don't know what you could do with that 12A.  I don't think it would be anything other than a curiosity at this point.

I don't want to do anything with my 601, other than put the engine back on and fly it.

Hey  Ernest.Thanks.What price should I ask.What else goes with it,getting things moving at the hangarThe extra reduction drive is minus the planetary gears. Are they expensive
and are they available somewhere.What price should I ask?I could not find the delta club.I know I typed the wrong site.Could you please send me sites you know.Is the 12-A motor
worth over hauling and putting the accessories on it and would it sell? I look forward to
working with you and learning from you.Have you made progress on the corvair engine.
I have another idea about using my honda engine on the  601.Its just popped into my head.we can sign the 601 over to me and put the dyke delta 
in .your name and you keep the corvair engine and you get all the Dyke Delta plus parts and keep it in my hangar To do whatever you wish. Sell it or fly it I will work continuiously
until both planes are done.Please don,t offended if this is the insulting to you I just wwoke 
up so my thought process is like a geriatric bingo ball spinner.Talk to you soon.If you need help with your plane let me know

I am interested in a spare EC-2 or 3.  Mine works fine (17 years) but I would like to know what he has and the price.

Also what coils it was the EC built to drive?
