WOW NO NEW THREADS SINCE FRIDAY

(Whale Singing Music) Is there anybody out there?
Installed my new carb today. I developed a miss this morning on the way to get new fuel filter before I put new carb on. Sounds very much like a burnt valve but I am hoping its a bad plug or wire. Could be a plug since the old carb has been loading up and trying to flood for a couple of weeks now. Since I was at the parts house anyhow I went ahead and bought a new set of plugs and some accel wires. I decided to spend the $$ and get some e-3 plugs. Anything that might help the MPG a lil bit.Tomorrow I will change plugs and wires and tune carb. Its hard to tune (as you all know) with a miss. I am REALLY hoping I dont have to do a compression test after the new stuff goes on. I may re-name my ol gal the Dollar Sign.

Why don't you try some Seafoam before? it might clean the build-up and release that problematic valve.

Been too busy buying Jaguars to do any work to my Bronco. (Bought two in less than two weeks) Haven't driven it in over a week. Have started it up last Wednesday to keep the battery charged, and fluids flowing.

Btw, there have been no new threads since these trucks are solid as a rock and we've been enjoying them during the weekend .

My tires aren't rock solid. One is flat on it and one is dry rotted. Can't drive it thus nothing is wrong with it except the tires. Ha.

As I was reading this I was thinking, "Man he can afford 2 Jaguars? He must have millions saved up!" Then I realized you ment the cars not the football players... I'm not used to 16 hours of sleep!

Actually, I meant the animals. I have a pure white Jaguar, and now I have an ebony Jaguar, and they both prefer Porterhouse steaks hand cut to look like small humans.

Total price for both was $5,010 which includes the gas to go down to Los Angeles to get the black one. Can't buy a new car or truck for that, but you can get two Jaguars. And one of them will be sold for a profit, the other will be kept as a daily driver.

Is it safe to say the Black one is being kept as a DD? It's pretty cool looking.

Thanks, the white one is in great shape, and is currently being used as a daily driver. The black one was bought to flip, once I fix some issues with it. Although, I may end up keeping that one, and selling the white one. It is on a non-op otherwise I would use that as my daily driver.
