    PSA Pay attention out there..

    Oh man...Can't say I've ever pulled that particular stunt. Other stupid stunts, sure. :lol: /GraceofGod

    Open carb spacer - wow, what a difference!

    Is there any particular reason you want to run a spread bore carb? Not intimately familiar with the stock poly intake - is it not a standard square bore dxesign?

    Congrats to the groom! Condolences to the bride... :lol:

    Gathering of the Classics.. Impromptu

    :lol: The gravel, I got no issue with of course (I take care of a half mile of STEEP gravel road out here) - but that little bit about the 900 miles and 14 hours travel kinda shied me away, I'm afraid. I totally agree on people and their inabilities to drive on gravel, by the way. You'd think...

    How big an extinguisher can you even fit in there though?

    the daily rant

    "Building inspections"... I remember those from when I lived in over-regulated, more northern locations. :) Hell, this county doesn't even HAVE a building inspector.... I have invited the town electrical inspector out to have a look at my self-installed wiring before though - even though he has...

    the daily rant

    Happens more and more with age. I've started calling my left hand especially "Thing" after the one on Addams Family. :)

    D-O-N-E (An Ed Mini-Story)

    Same here. All my/our dogs have been strays that find their way up here or at times, I've been talked into going to the local shelter (won't happen again though - I tend to want to bring them ALL home when I go there). People stop out on the highway in the valley below and toss dogs out of the...

    D-O-N-E (An Ed Mini-Story)

    Thanks. :-) Oh, trust me, that subject comes up a lot - and it's me being resistant to it. Despite having had dogs my whole life, Sasha broke my damn heart. Can't say if or when that will ever change....

    ONLY Five Cars A Year, 100% Handmade

    I watched that in the wee hours this morning myself and marveled at how they're managing to do all this from scratch from such meager documentation (sometimes, all they have are pictures that they scale off of!). All from scratch, all without use of the usual massive presses and such the...

    Help 1972 Newport

    Agree. Follow the clues - what has changed since the car was last in your posession?

    D-O-N-E (An Ed Mini-Story)

    It's the prettiest time of year here in God's country. I love the combination of country roads and low population, even with the relative increase in popularity shown in the "invasion" we've seen from folks from yankee states (and surprisingly, a lot of Florida transplants too?) and the fall...

    D-O-N-E (An Ed Mini-Story)

    OH man, there's gotta be dozens on here already my friend. Tell ya what, here's a few another fella took of him at last Friday evening's Subway Cruise-In: He's no prettier than he ever was, but at least I haven't harmed him much in recent past. Thanks, Dave. Really appreciate the DM's...

    :lol: No, I can honestly say all the years of effort and investment have been rewarded and Fred is doing just fine. :thumbsup:

    Garage stench after parking car - does non-ethanol help?

    Yes, the alcohol used in modern fuels evaporates easier/faster than gasoline fumes do. It also has less energy (BTU's) than straight gas, leading to lower fuel economy to produce the same power. My particular case: Never have lingering "raw" fuel smell in the garage, which is a detached...

    Ed Story Time - Possibly the last one? - Parts 1 and 2

    Kipling was a hell of a writer. I...am not, admittedly so. Was that the point of this?

    D-O-N-E (An Ed Mini-Story)

    Ed Mini-Story Time: Lisa and I had Fred out yesterday for a nice drive up to Church Hill for weekly shopping. We took backroads for a change; recent weather in these parts having been downright gorgeous and all, it made for a really nice drive - even with my usual sawing at the wheel (manual...

    Ed Story Time - Possibly the last one? - Parts 1 and 2

    Post: I wrote this when I did because it felt like time to do so; I waited until it seemed so. Most importantly, I wanted it recorded somewhere for posterity - and for the coming day that I either won't be here or am no longer able to even if I still am. Either way... I hold no preconceived...
