New England B.S. Thread

Love hearing the secondaries open on mine. Just a Rochester 600 Performer, but you can really hear it when they kick in (because in the 60's, sound insulation was for cars, apparently)

When I was a kid one of my uncles had a '70 Plymouth Roadrunner with a 340 Six Pack in it. When he floored it, the 2nd 2bbl opened up, then it dropped a gear, and then the 3rd 2bbl opened up. The engine note at full throttle was amazing (what you could hear of it over the exhaust--headers into glasspacks dumping out in front of the rear wheels)

 

Had a 64 Goat 389 Tri-Power. Know that sound well. Had the old M-21 "knuckle buster" too.

My Nova is like riding in an uninsulated beer can. Noise,lumpy cam shakes and incredible heat coming thru the floors from the headers. At least they had vent windows back then,lol.

 

Back at work again. Seems like I just left, oh fuck I did. Another overnight, then my regular shift with overtime at the end.

 

Take the TRD CAI out - check

Put original OEM intake in - check

 

Sounds like you are getting ready to buy a Fiat

 

SAS=$$$$$$$$! I could get a nicely set up truggy locked/lifted and plenty of rubber underneath for a fraction of the cash it would take to do the '11 over. I know you're not raw about AW cuz that stuff comes with our territory--but I also empathisize with the first permanent mark on the baby

 

The oem bumper I cracked up the winter of '11-'12 was the first mark

If you don't mind some wrench time building up an old taco or 4runner could be a lot of fun. In hindsight I never should've sold my 95, it would've been perfect. Maybe the craigslist gods will be generous and drop the perfect trail rig in your lap?

 

I'm hoping--then I'll have something extra capable and a rescue rig(?)

 

You won't need a rescue rig, I'll bounce off some rocks and trees to give you a pull. Or vice versa?

 

Mike I know we talked about doing your bushing tonight but can we wait til sat. Ok time for the regular shift.

 

Billy,

No worries, that's ideal. I'm still waiting for the tool to show up from John anywho. It should be here tonight but that gives a buffer time. I need to grab the axle nut socket anyways. Gives me Friday to get stuff done at my Moms and maybe hit the driving range. One day I'll get rid of my 45 degree slice and be able to clear the women's tees off the men's tees on the course.

Double edit. Gonna get the axle nut kit from HF because why not, good to have for the future. It's only $33.99 after tax/coupon.

 

Man, you're not kidding. I really need to pick up some heat wrap for mine. The other day the GF and I took the Sweptline to a show across town, and while we were sitting in traffic she says "my feet are really hot"
It's not bad if you're moving because the air flow pulls away a lot of the heat, but man...sitting still in traffic will give you a wicked case of swamp foot.

I didn't realize that there was an 'elevator season' Bill. Good luck, and be careful!

 

Yeah I forgot to send it again lol got tied up with a 9 month doctor check up .
If you want to come to my work tomorrow or bill if your in town I can try meet up with you to hand it off . I work 6-6 so I'm here all day and all weekend

 

How's the baby? You loving being a father? My little man is 3.5 now, time flies.

Still got that box of goodies? I got a Benjamin and a six-pack for your troubles when I get back stateside.

 

I'm just ordered it from ECGS and overnightwd it. I don't have time tomorrow to grab it unfortunately and billy is nice enough to help me do the work so I don't want to ask him to get the pieces.

Thanks anyways. I do get that life is crazy and can get in the way.

 

Sorry john but I can't slip out of this job. You will be in NH before I am out

 

Cool

 

He's good growing like a weed . Being a father is cool , big change in life but all for the good . I still have all those parts for you . There not going anywhere .

 

Monday I'm interviewing at a Subaru dealership in NY for a service writer position!!
