Good morning all. Looks like a great day in the land of Enchantment. I'm looking forward to the Republican campaign rally this evening. I got some flags together (no sticks or poles) and made sure my camera batteries are charged. Steve will you be home this afternoon when I swing by?

Ok i think the big block gods are out for me. Must be a karma thing for also owning the fastest 6.0 in NM.
Installed the new intake on the 460, broken bolts, sold wrong grade bolts at hardware store and one of them broke in the block. tore up gasket while removing broken bolt in head , had to get new gasket in albuquerque. Son bumped starter while reinstalling distributator and it is now off 18 deg. But now!! The best part! after getting everything back on, re running 3.8 miles of vaccume hoses, she she starting, I now have a click that sounds just like a nut on top of the valve.
Ohh, I did a count of nuts and I seem to be missing one out of the pack of 10 I bought!!
But on the good side, Son did learn a few new words today!!!
