Run without it and if it vapor locks and acts up, put the spacer on it. I believe in phenolic spacers and close pins....

 

I have never had a problem with a vehicle vapor locking. ....well, one time I did. I used a cheap electric pump that was getting hot and heating the fuel. A stock, mechanical pump fixed the problem. You wouldn't need the spacer on a Performer intake. I think you'll need it even less on the air gap.

 

Good morning Missouri, welcome to the Day of Hump! Should be gorgeous up here today, high of 67. I should have played hooky......

 

Good morning everybody!
Like usual, I have nothing to bring to the table that's truck related.
Tim and I made a day trip to Lexington early Monday morning. I wanted to be there for the mechanical, and termite inspection.
No termite problem anyplace.
The mechanical inspection did bring up a few things, as was expected from a 40 plus year old house.
There's some hail/weather damage to the roof that needs to be looked at closer. We're hoping the sellers insurance company will eat a new roof.
The brand name "Federal Pacific" Stab Lock, is a brand that some licensed electricians won't even inspect. They just say to replace it. So it needs to be looked at closely.
Chimney needs cleaned and inspected, to make sure it's safe to burn wood without nuking the house.
And there's a thin crack in a garage wall, that we want looked at closer.
If everything there is good, or if the seller will fix/reduce price. Then we'll go for the appraisal.

Unk Bob

 

Good morning Everybody!

I need to get a few panels on a 2004 Suzuki Vitara today. I'm supposed to paint it too, but that's going to have to wait until the truck is done. There's so much iron dust, dirt and debris in the garage, it would come out looking like bedliner if I shot paint in there now.

 

You missed a few I recall from basic Rich. I won't post the You Tube here, they were, shall we say somewhat LESS THAN, 'G' Rated! The little yellow bird on my windowsill? I don't know but I've been told Eskimo? They say that in the Army ....., and of course, there was Jody. I can hear Alan out there now!

 

Howdy all, gimpy here, woke up with the bad knee in a very foul mood.

 

good afternoon all.. yea several of those cadence songs sound familiar.... you be careful out there rich.. you know people of your advanced age could fall and get hurt working by themselves..ha ha ha ha ha ..

alan did you clear your shop out or using the depot...

moose are you sure you have the right intake.. the 289-302 intake is different from the 351w.. i do like to run a spacer but mostly just the aluminum type, just because the Phenolic are harder to find in my neck of the woods

chip i hope your gimpy-ness goes away soon...i hate to watch old men hobbling arounsd..... ha ha ha ha ha

dang you rich.. now i am listening to utube for cadence songs.. so many different variations of the same song ..........

 

Yessir, being a gimpy old man ain't cutting it, your youth and vitality is where it's at.

 

thats right chip..................... i have the fountain of youth in my back yard.. ha ha ha ha .... just aint been able to get to it lately..

 

My left knee has been hurting lately if I bend it a certain way.

I tried to move it in the middle of the night to contort it around the wife & cats, and holly crap, it said hell no.
I guess we are the Corsican brothers.

On a positive note, I found a place to get new tires this Saturday. It's a little more than I wanted to pay,
but they are a better tire with a 60,000 tread warranty. No they are not Goodyear or Continental.

Another plus is, they have their own 0% financing, so I can spread the cost out over 6 months.

 

Getting old is not for wimps
RC, you have to be careful with youtube, it can be a black hole.
Dan, I have the problem of my dog taking up space. My wife is very short and doesn't use the lower part of the bed. So why does my dog think he needs my side?

 

Evening All.

I got the Suzuki straightened out. No paint, but it can be inspected now. He'll have to bring it back later for color.

RC. No, I'm working in the driveway. ...still.

 

Which one's Chong?
