Almost got 600 miles on the new motor in the Ranger, near time to stick my foot in it!

MPG is kinda dismal so far during break-in....17mpg
But this is a tight engine with a hi-po cam and a new offenhauser 4v intake and 390 holley, it may never get too much better. Used to get 24mpg hi-way, hope to get near it again.
Could be the crappy "winter blend" gas too.

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

Morning Don, Gerry and those that follow.

That suit car is scarry. A motorcycle would be much safer than that death trap.

Another day with my nose to the grindstone... or something like that.

Dodge one pothole on the interstate, and you're on your side, sparks flying, praying you'll skid OUT of traffic instead of under some poor trucker's trailer tires.

Enviro-**** death-wish.....!

Glad to see you posting up, Pat. How's the pain level so far?
