60+ year old thread.

There we go, a little humor.

Anyone know how much money I have made as a comedian? None...

 

You're not serious.

 

Well, pretty good day, even if not a wrap. Wire by wire. Ran into several more wires completely oxidized inside - just disintegrated when stripped - replaced them all. Guy must have left his wiring scraps outside. Anything that had to be fixed or relocated got solder shrunk, and then covered with shrink.



And I got the panels in and wired. Have to finish the two lighting circuits in the grille area, and redoing the special DRL/Fog relay he messed-up up there; might as well clean it all up. Everything working properly except the front cam - which could just be the cam it's so cheap. I'll worry about that at the end.





Wrap it up tomorrow? And back to potted plants!

 

I heard they got sued for misleading advertising?

 

Good morning fellow Porchatonians!!!

 

That’s more like it.

 

Good morning Porchatonian People’s.

You can attack this project if you’re so inclined.
Overhauling 2 Edelbrock 600cfm Carbs for a supercharged Chevy Truck.



Throttle base’s are worn out.
Sat for a few years
Carbs were nowhere near working together.
My son told this guy “My dad can fix anything”
Well, you can polish a turd and it’s still a turd.
And that’s what I’m trying to do.

 

That says it all, right there. A life well lived and a father well loved.

 

Word gets around. Both my sons' college girl friends would bring me their very used cars to fix. They were nervous even asking, but I always smoothed that right out.

 

Morning all:

Looks like fun Mike, I never rebuilt an Edelbrock carb but have rebuilt multiple other carbs, I have played with the Holley carburetors many times since that is what is on the "66", mostly just the basic stuff but there are ways to tweak them!

 

I hope you're enjoying retirement.

 

Ok I'll bite, do tell.......

 

The awning is out of the tube and the hardware is removed/inventoried. Raining again today so I will drill the vinyl siding brackets to accept the awning mounting brackets. We have a concert tonight.

 

Just curious, as I need something like this for our patio. What is a ballpark cost? I have zero idea(?)

 

Good Morning Porch Pals & Gals! My, what an assortment of "retiree projects" we have going! Good luck to all, and I hope yours all wrap up on schedule, with no surprises! I've had enough of those; I dreamed of wire splices.....

 

One of the best words in the dictionary…

 

Oops! OK I did see that. Guess I didn't have enough coffee in me yet.
