No worries on that score... I have a bit of experience with 944's, having owned a few of them over the last nine years, including (currently) an '84 944 with a FR Wilk chip in it, an '87 951 and a '92 968 cab. I try to do most of my own work on the cars, and have a pretty good grasp on what works and what doesn't.
How far away are you from KC?
