I don't think my TS takes too long to drop it's revs, although I'll check that more closely when I get it back from getting the hood modified. The accelleration curve unloaded is just very steep and I have a hard time finding where to engage the clutch. I'll play with a little more when it comes back and try to define the bahavior a bit better.

Concerning the 8V chain driven TS155 head. I don't have one, nor have I examined one, but Glenn Oliveria has one of each in his shop I can compare someday. I have read on this BB sometime ago that it will bolt right up to the TS75 block. No one ever mentioned any differences. I would certainly analyze this in detail before I bought one. My plan is to one day, so I will double check, for sure.

Re-reading this post several times paying attention to Biba and alfa of-course, it seems that the no-name alfa of-course is Jim Steck. Does anyone read that? Am I mis-understanding the hard-to-follow ramblings? Did Spider-man slip up?
