I had to share waggin's dual's
and my old Offey intake that PHOENIX SPECIALTY COATINGS brought back to life and Billy set up my Holley 390 like new :cheers:
All I had to do was set the floats Billy :cheers: But you said I would have to know that I remember.

This has been a long time waiting for us all
Thank's to all the great tec help I have received here at FABO :cheers:

Victoria is breathing again :cheers:

Yes, I did enjoy that! I know it felt really good to have her running so well.

Thank you goldfish, I am glad you enjoyed that as much as I did :happy10:
I sent that Holley to Billy "Leanna's partner and man" and he set it up and installed a choke / butterfly and jets for my 170/ The word is he has more carb parts then I could imagine and is a dang good Carb builder :thumbrig: He already called me last night and said if it goes to the secondary's to fast let him know and he can send me a different part :thumbrig: I can't wait to pull her out of the shelter =P~

She sure seems that way Justen 8) I bet I go out and fire her up again this morning and check for any leaks and errors again, So far no leaks and error's :cheers: I will try and get it off the jack stands and moved outside today :cheers: Thank you Justin 8)
 
Whewwww, glad to see that all is coming together Mike! But I wanna see a picture of that perma-grin on your face every time she fires up. (My car has been running since November 10, 2006 and I STILL get that look with every turn of the key.)

Congrats on the progress! It's been an honor and a privilege having a hand in it.

Time to get the soapy bucket out and shine some Vicky!Hope the weather clears for her new 2010 appearance.LOL:toothy1:Cleaned up down the hill on on to the black top to George Rays for some good times!She,ll be a looker with some low deck rumble Mike!:toothy10:
 
I did some mowing and spread granules for fleas ,tick's and things hoping for the rain to water it down yesterday , But the rain has stayed west and fizzled out before it gets here :angry7:
I don't have a problem here on my property with them and I want to keep it that way 8)
We have had rain forecasted for Friday and Saturday and not a drop of rain yet.:angry7:
Even looking at the radar it shows it heading this way but it just dies out
I could have dune the throttle yesterday and pulled her out:angry7: But I just did not have it in me, I may have to water the lawn by hand if the rain cell that is to the west of me don't make it here...
The day is getting closer petty :cheers:
