No problem. It amazes me sometimes at the fact we still use Imperial measuring units. Metric really is easier, and all but 4 countries in the world use it. Funny how we as a nation seem to universally embrace new technologies at the drop of a hat (computers/phones/TV) but are scared of counting by units of ten...

BTW, a bump of the ignition timing and a fine tune of the carburetor and I'll bet you're right at 20-21" with that engine.
