Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Just getting home. Stayed out at the duck pond until dark. Early bright moon so I decided to see if any coyotes would come out and play, but they decided to stay in the den.
Never really cleared up today. Fog lifted but we had a light overcast most of the day. Never got over 49.

Evening guys another day down, had to attend a memorial for my bosses mom. She was 89 and had been married for 72 years. It was sad, but oh the memories of the people who's life she touched and impacted.

Evening gents!
Enjoyed a solid day of BSing. Plus some homework and 2 minutes of work
Ben and I worked on Writing 121 stuff, I helped him and his father get his truck ready to have bedliner sprayed in, which they did today. Then we BS'ed enough to make a herd a cattle feel lazy. He may be joining the forums soon...
Anyway, I have a question for those of you who do your own painting. What size of air compressor do you use and what CFM are you running?
I should probably invest in an air compressor soon myself. I cant go any bigger than about a 30 gallon, which paired with the right motor might be enough.
If any of y'all have one or know of one for sale that is useable (motor and belts, and other easily replaceable parts I have access too, the tank and other parts I do need to be good though) if you would let me know it would be much appreciated!

Evening gang.
I got most of the moving and de-construction finished up at my wife's office.
Not much else going on here.

$389.00?.............Can't justify it, not when I have the means to make it run perfect sitting on the bench for free.
The cool factor of seeing a fat Holley 4bbl on a little V-6 is starting to wear off.
If I drive like grandma and never open the secondaries I get pretty good mpgs, but idle and general drive-ability has gone downhill.
And I drive more like NASCAR than grandma.
Hope this rebuild does the trick, or I am going back to the big 2100 motorcraft 2bbl.

I got a 750 from them about 3 years ago for $180 for the Booger truck; working great!

I got the case together everything was tight and could only turn the engine over counter clockwise. Pulled it all back down, think the distributor drive gear on the crank was not fully seated. Lookings worm so going to replace it with another one I have laying around. Not going anywhere today so I can work on it.
