How about a B/S thread we can keep from getting closed........









I decided to get some 315s and a set of new wheels for the Excursion.

So Kris, I won't need that pic u forgot to send me. Lol


I'm getting some 16x10s like I had on my 94.

 

thouse look nice dave

 

Looks similar to ones i were looking for when i was gonna get some for my 150.

 

The only reason Joe likes them is because it says Joes showroom on the pic, lolz.

But seriously they're pretty nice. How much do they run?

 

$117 each. Includes a center cap.

 

Not bad... not bad at all.

 

Wish mine weren't more than that...

 

hey a/o, look what i just found about. speaking of our "stupidity of FTE"

1) He's not on here anymore

2) Not sure what you were attempting to do there

3) A wooden spacer isn't really that bad of a idea as it will not transfer heat near as much as a metal one.

 

yup.wood spacers was an old racers trick.
i had a wood spacer on a 273 4 barrel in a 64 barracuda. ran it with the wood spacer for close to 4 years on the track until the crank snapped.
if sealed properly a wood spacer will transfer much less heat to the carb than a steel or aluminum one will.

 

1) what happened?
2) its supposed to be an egr block off, the guy wants to block off his egr
3) yeah i know they use em as spacers, 220* is a lot different than 1200*

 

Huh, pretty smart...

What happened to Kris? Banned?

 

I've used tin and red RTV along with a regular spacer plate to block of EGRs before. The temp isn't high at all in the intake as it is in a exhaust manifold.

 

Ah didn't really read just saw the pic an figured you were talking about the wooden spacer

 

ehhh still even if it isnt as hot it still has to deal with the carbon
