What cars did you have when ...

Crap, I was in the Olds section. Your lift should be .477/.480 but all the above still applies.

I'm going to bed, long week.

Yeah maybe I should, someone might have a use for them. I have other car parts that are just sitting around, I should take some photos of them all and put them up on Ebay. It's gotten so bad I'm always tripping over some old car part in my garage, no wonder my wife won't go out there--

Hi Dave, Yes, .477/.480 is the correct lift. Thanks for the tips. I will be double checking with the machine shop. The first guy I talked to there said all my stock components will work with this cam, but as you said, I don't want to go back into the engine again. HD

Things like that I would. I put some parts on Ebay, mostly whole cars. I usually have enough lose parts to fill a swapmeet space twice a year. Although Im running out of good stuff to sell at the meets.

If your wife thinks you have clutter. Bring her to my Shop once. she will no longer accuse you of cluttering. Charles

Don't get my wrong, my wife likes clutter....HER clutter. My clutter on the other hand, is unacceptable. I like the idea of taking all my stuff to a swap meet, I live on the WI/MN border, so our swap meets are summer-only events. Maybe I could actually swap some stuff I have for parts I am looking for.

I still have all of my first cars from when I started driving in 1988, although one will eventually be sold. I keep adding to the collection :).

Really? Man, I wish I had rented a warehouse and kept every car I ever owned !!!

Hi, Terry, nice to hear from you. Yep, I finally got the Quadrajet overhauled, and after that first tank she hasn't even opened up again! I asked her today when the last time was she opened up the secondaries, she said it's been a while, she doesn't really need it unless she's getting on the highway and it takes too much gas...

Mine would like a newer car, but she likes the old T/A better so far, she doesn't want to part with it. It's close enough to stock that it's a good everyday driver, just idles a little fast because of the cam.

She did help me overhaul the carb, that Q-jet is a lot easier to put together with 2 people, especially if one has little bitty skinny fingers!

My first car was a '65 Chev Impala SS, 327cid, 4bbl, 4spd. No A/C nor P/B or P/S. My dad bought it new that way. Only modification he allowed was a glasspak exhaust. It ran great and took a lot of abuse from me 'cause I was young and dumb and... (hangs head in shame). I really miss that one.

I also drove his 1969 Ford F-100 Ranger, 360cid with 3 on the tree. This one had A/C, but still no P/B or P/S. Dad just didn't think they were necessary nor desirable. He modded it with dual exhaust glasspaks and a pair of fairly large aux gas tanks. Is this really Key Largo trying to participate again while attempting to evade the spammers?
