Never heard of that test, I'll have to try it. It runs dead smooth, bet it might.

I thought that was some ad agency's B.S.! Okay so I know it is true now but I'm with Patton. I'd be the poor SOB to loose it & have it do something bad later. Is that test included in the video they gave with the owner's kits? I will try this later in the week because I thought of a way I will not loose the nickle if it falls over. I suppose a wine glass & no ripples isn't the same degree of difficulty? Only a 5.5 from the Ford judge, right?

No, I don't recall seeing it. I just put the nickel on the plenum in the little valley in the middle. It's not gonna fly off, just fall over. I also kept my fingers right by it. I doubt you'll lose it in the engine unless yours really vibrates.

Im mostly kidding,... mostly.

I've done it on mine. Use a nice new nickel not an old rounded edge one!
