Received a very nice thank you from Edelbrock today.

Easy there old timer…too much excitement may not be a good thing at our age.

The best news I think is they listened and fixed it. It’s cool they are sending you some stuff but the fact that they actually checked and verified that they had an issue is a big deal.

Most times these companies (especially the bigger ones) think everyone is a moron and just blow you off.

I got a pretty rough intake from Indy probably in 2006. It was horrible. So I called the dude (I forget his name) that owned Indy and asked him about the finish machine work on it. He told me I was a F’ing idiot, his manifolds didn’t need any work and if I had the common sense God gave a carrot I’d find another line of work.

I can’t post here what I told that idiot but it wasn’t nice.

Imagine how it went when I spent a whole DAY unscrewing the rocker alignment and getting it all set up and the next day rolling the engine over on the stand it broke a brand new rocker!!

That argument should have been recorded. He dog cussed me, I dog cussed him, his mother and his wife and hung up on me. He called me back just to hang up on me.

Classic asshole.
For a company, that normally does not work out well. Bad results get spread around real fast, and big money on advertising has a rough time overcoming it. Either they get smart or broke.
That said, dealing with the public can be trying at times as owner or tech person can not be sure they are speaking to someone knowledgable or someone with an overinflated opinion of their abilities. These days a few photos sent from a "smart" phone can illustrate problems and possibly resolve issues fairly quickly.
