I have and it was the best with tons of vendors. It's like going to the fair only with cars and parts. If I lived closer I would probably go again.

Sorry I am lacking on my job again getting the monthly chat up. I forgot it was the 1st.

I spent all morning at the hospital getting a stress test done on the old ticker. The doctor wanted to do it because I am retiring not because he thought I had a problem. I was not rushed into emergency bypass surgery so I guess everything is fine.

I need to replace the torque converter solenoid switch in the Grand AM, It does not like to stay engaged, a known problem with these cars. I can feather the gas when it's cold to keep it engaged but it gets worse as the outside temps get warmer. I am going to service the fluid and filter when I do it. I have almost 150 thousand miles on it.

I have the news on and sort of watching the voting from Iowa, I am just glad to finally have some voting going on.

Well guys I learned I can not just but a 2wd housing on my transmission I would have to replace the shaft as well. Looks like I am going to try and tackle a transmission mod myself (funds won't allow paying someone) wish me luck.

It might be a while before I put in the transmission seeing how I am going to have to convert the tailshaft from 4x4 to 2wd, get a TPS controller and carb sensor.

I might try to swap my engine with a crate first. I am looking for a 302 high rise intake. Do you guys know anyone how has a used one?

Did you give up on the frame swap we talked about on the other thread? If you are going to Moultrie you may find one.

Unfortunately, I could find anyone to carpool with and a 4hr trip is kind of hard to swallow if I may not find anything. As far as body swap, I am going to pass on that. I want to get this 400hp crate engine and 4 speed transmission more then 4x4 at the moment.
