...a bit. Tried a lot of things but it always started again AFTER the gas cooled off! What thermostat do you use? I understand that there is a 195* option so that’s not a problem. Mine will creep up too if I am not moving for several minutes >15. It likes to be in N for those longer periods...

Thanks Mr Steve. My wife was trying to get footage of the launch and keep the rest of our “pit crew” in order. I grabbed a frame from the second time slip. This is the first picture of the theme where the front actually comes up, the back doesn’t squat a bunch, and the tires aren’t just spinning!

And you got My Hood in the shot too! Nice work

After chasing down an oil leak last week, I finally got up to Bremerton for a few runs…(2067) Apparently I forgot when to leave but it was a pretty good night for the orange car!

I think mine came from Classic and don’t remember issues….with the gasket anyway! lol. I used a little silicone in the corners for extra protection. 8 years later no issues. Good luck.

Less philosophy than infliction that frugality. Im in a program to get rid of it. One broken part at a time!!!

My tube actually wiggles when the RTV gives up so I think we know what has to happen first! Thanks again all.

I guess I did say squirt. I run at about 60psi @ 2000rpms. I have it on oil thinners to keep from having a stroke but that darn 30 weight sneaks out where it can! Lol I’m only kinda kidding. I like 20w 50 to prevent leaking but then it runs 100psi when cold!? I traded a pair of clogged breathers...

I am pretty attracted to this idea. Would I have to hone the block a skosh to accept a gas line fitting?

Pretty sure it’s down low. I am able to stop it for long periods with the RTV and if it was squirting out the top I’d have a much bigger mess and maybe even smoke. No oil is getting blown around by the nearby fan at the top of the tube. Just moist down low and leaves a half dollar size puddle...

I have a 1971 340 in my 1968 Barracuda. It’s had a chrome dipstick since I bought the motor or it was on the 1976 360 that was in the car previously and I cannibalized it, I don’t remember. I can clean the block and tube really well, use the black RTV, and can get 5000 miles out of it. Then it...

DON’T BUY THAT 1st PACK OF CIGARETTES! you’ll be much more successful with the ladies early on and you’ll be trying to quit until you’re 40!

I miss going out for good BBQ! My favorites were: The Burger Barn in Jena Louisiana Uncle Henry’s in Sheridan Arkansas and Wade’s (kinda a food truck) Lufkin Texas. We would get his smoked Turkeys for Thanksgiving!!! Mmm At home: Kinders Gold If Buffalo wings aren’t too much a stretch of the...

Mine is not a show piece but I like to enter the one show in town. I’m kinda a blow in and I don’t get many opportunities to meet like minded locals. I think I gave them $10 last year. Funny you mention it cuz someone invariably leaves half a dozen leaflets on the car for other shows and much...

We tried to get to the halibut hole yesterday but the bar was a little too rough. We piddled in the harbor and the marina mostly. Here’s a question; what do ya’ll do with these expired flare cartridges? I can’t imagine hanging on to bunches of them is a good idea and tossing them in the rubbish...

Wow, sorry I missed this one Steve! What did you end up doing? I like the track system idea.

https://arlingtoncemetery.mil/Portals/0/ANC%20History%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf Was just thinking about visiting Arlington as a kid and found this. Thought I’d share it here…

I’m married with two young kids….im always just talking to myself!

You chose a way better day!

Drove down to the Columbia this morning. Lots of twisting mountain roads and MC’Ds for a pit stop in Raymond. I learned that there is a small cruise in there every Thursday at 1. Strange coincidence. We had parked right in their spot as folks were just showing up… had to run home to pick my son...

Astoria today

I have an 8.25 sure grip with 3.55’s. I understand that the case is the same but you must change carriers between high and lower ratios…

I’m eyeing a June T&T too! Be safe and good luck.

Beat me to it! I just copied it to post. lol

One last pass to torque bolts, grease fittings, height adjustment, and one more brake bleed. It rolls pretty straight despite being all tore apart. Steering wheel is a little off. I’m taking it for a pro alignment Monday. See ya’ll out on the blacktop!

That $AXON purchase worked out as of today. Not quite 10% but better than the S&P so far. April was the better dip for sure!

Preaching to the choir Once in a long while a jury rig will work forever. They never look right though!
