    im thinking and there is no way the engine would run as smooth as it is if the rotor is a v8 rotor. if at all. but i will check it also, whats troubling me is that before the tune/carb, it was operating better. the compression doesn't just drop

    1996 Four Winns 5.8 Duo drive Fuel pump location
