Just so you know, if you do some quick work with a sanding block and 80 grit sand paper, you can mill the head on the work bench. In the early 90's a guy I worked with did it to a 12 hp Briggs on a pressure washer. When we were done, you could almost lift the pressure washer off of the ground with t...

Chupposity is difficult to combat.

Once the tuning gets done on the vette, Fred32v will be in the shop for sure, cause being slower than the vette will hurt!!! I told him to get the info while he was there also, but he will need more inspiration than that to get the work done. Remember what happened to the Eldorado when the GS was pu...

Gearing may not be the whole reason you have traction problems BP. My GS stalls around 3,000. Does yours?? How about the SS?? With such a loose converter, traction is going to be an issue, particularly with the super charger making such torque. Also, I don't think switching to a gear lower than 3:42...

Are the "instructions for the kit" you descibe shown in the 3rd & 4th pictures? I was trying to figure them out and can see why you were having a hard time with them. What does that cat by the chuck key have to do with the SS???

Just got positive feedback and a compliment on how nice the condition of the lid was. Another satisified customer ( and seller ) !!!!!

Seems like everywhere you look, Esso surrounds you!!!

When I purchased the lid, I bought it with the 3 spinner hubcaps. I bought the whole lot for $35.00. I figured the lid was worth around $40-$50 bucks. I actually had it on craigslist for $50, but after getting 40 hits in the first day, I decided to ( with some deliberation with BP ) keep it on ebay....

Check out the sale price of the $10.00 air filter lid!!! Between the holley carb and the lid, my trip to Carlisle was paid for. ( I still have to sell the hubcaps too.... )

I see your location is "breaking esso." Does that mean your wife can find you via "esso location"?

Well, just sold the carb with my craigslist ad. $70.00 .. not bad for a $40.00 purchase.....

Doesn't Turney's have something in their Sparkomatic rack that will fit that thing???

These are two of the things purchased at Carlisle Spring Meet.

I will bring chips to the feast. Are Ponch and John ok, or do I need to bring Gatraire and Grossy too??

I'm not saying it won't be longer -- google maps calls the usual route 5 hours, and the 2-lane route 7 hours. I'm figuring real world, it'll be an hour longer. We'll have to make the call on weather on Thursday night, though. Call me when you get back from AK and we'll talk about it. They say getti...
