VA has some ******* laws on the books!

AZ had a law on the books that allowed you to sell anything as long as you paid the state tax and received a stamp for your product. So a few years ago at a National Championship game some drug dealer decided to test this law. He bought the stamps and placed them on a bunch of bags of weed. He then sold these to people at the game. Well he was arrested but was later let go and never charged with anything because he had the stamp on them which allowed him to be in possession of the drugs. Needless to say that law was removed very quickly!

Glad y'all had fun at the GTG, Tim.

Picked up a Lee Load-all II and all the goodies from Bass Pro. Prices were a bit much, but I figured it would come out about the same after shipping if I ordered online. Gonna build a reloading bench, mount the press, and then try my hand at it.

It's on the list. There's a thread I started over in the 80-86 sub. Basically once warm I have firing plugs, fuel at pressure coming to the carb, and no gas at the back of the carb. Won't turn over with ether either. Let it sit an hour or two and I have a running truck that dies when you get back into N.

Thinking I have trash in my carb that's gumming up once hot. Or it's stuck open, starts to flood? IDK.

Yep. Caught some of the fuel coming through in a measuring cup to check flow rate, it was clear and smelled great. When I had the plugs looking at them I sprayed ether in each hole. Kicked up for a couple seconds. In my (limited) mind there's no other thing that can be at fault than the carb.
