Water use regulations might also be a factor.

I had a very good experience here;

It wasn't cheap, but it was a fantastic result.

This just might be the most beautiful induction combo I have ever seen.

In a drag race (against a Hellcat) no.

On a road course, yes.

Easy enough to do.

Thanks

Looking at these pictures,  it looks much shorter than the height mine is at.

Ok,

But the stop I am referring to is in the intake manifold hole, you can just see it in the picture of the underside of the manifold.

Several years ago, I bought a well made Thermactor oil fill tube reproduction.

I sent it along with the intake manifold to Shelby parts & restoration where the intake was refinished and the tube installed.

The tube did not fully seat. There is a stop shoulder at the bottom of the manifold hole to keep the tube from pushing thru. I am guessing that this intake was not a Thermactor intake or the tube is just too long.

Should I cut the tube short and maintain the shoulder or mill the shoulder out of the hole?

Neither are difficult, the hardest part will be getting the press to fit tube back out to make the change. The last picture is the bottom side of the oil fill hole.

Wanted to Buy / Want to buy American 200s Daisy's
July 03, 2024, 07:46:36 PM
Looking for 15 x 7" and 15 x 8-1/2" 200s Daisy wheels. Mustang bolt pattern.

Vintage, Not the new ones. Nicer condition preferred but all considered. Open to singles or less than complete sets.

Can text me at two five three, four five nine, four four two nine.

I haven't been receiving notices of P/M's so I will check in on those more often

Royce, ask all the people on your list who they think is in top 2-3.

Still can't stop laughing over Lottery winner Ringo Star.

I could probably fit him in the top thirty rock drummers of all time. Nowhere near the top ten. He just wasn't lucky enough to be with a band that made lots of hit records or lots of money. As a lyricist he was a bit unique among drummers but having to write lyrics for songs that usually didn't chart had to be a bit challenging.

Compare his drumming skills to Michael Shrieve of Santana. Or Ringo Starr. How about Charlie Watt? Maybe Ian Paice? What about Bill Bruford? Butch Trucks? Jai Johanny "Jailoe" Johanson? What about Aynsley Dunbar? Cozy Powell? Nick Mason? (He probably has a better car collection too!) What about Bill Payne? I am leaving out tons of very talented rock drummers. How about Dave Grohl? Maybe Don Henley of the Eagles?

I could easily populate the top thirty drummers of all time without Neal Peart being mentioned because after all his band was never one that sold lots of albums or made lots of hits. Do I like his taste in cars? Yes a lot!

Do I like Rush as a band? Yes but I would not consider them top of anything except maybe Canadian rock bands with ultra high octave vocals.

One of the best rock drummers or THE best rock drummer of all time?

Jon

Rings Star?

HaHaHa, wait, holy shit, HaHaHa hah!

You called yourself out when you equate skill to how much money the band made.

What a farcical commentary.
