I have a manual but don't want to break something trying to force the issue. Title shows 1917 but serial no indicates was built in 1918 Last edited by WSP530; 08/28/17 12:14 PM. 1917 490, 1928 Depot Hack, 1925 Buick roadster, 1978 Vette pace car, 2002 Z06

Once you have posted 3 times in here, you will be able to post questions directly into the dedicated 490 forums, and will certainly receive some more attention. Anyway Welcome again, and we look forward to hearing more about your 490. JACK
