kinda like quiche....you can use ham instead

 

While I could never really admit to eating, and liking, quiche, I might just be able to go for balogna pie! Got to figure out how to make one!

On that note, I am going to go to bed (like you told me to do).

Good Night!

 

basically, throw all the ingredients you would put in your favorite omelet, into a pie shell, and bake

 

Has no one read the book?...Real Men Don't Eat Quiche...One of the earlier attempts to define man law....kind of like a book of the Old Testament.

 

IT IS NOT QUICHE - it balogna pie. There is a world of difference! If it were quiche, I would have to give up my manliness!

 

Just need to make sure....if we catch you eating quiche we'll be forced to revoke your junk...

 

I have been on probationary junk removal before, never again! It was not my fault. I make every move I can to make sure the junk stays put!

 

I understand....nobody likes doing junk removal, but sometimes its necessary....

 

Ok, getting back to the general chat theme, and away from junk removal........



Round 3 of the classic truck championship is over, and it seems my ol' truck has a few fans besides just my family. I guess since it has now won a spot in the finals, I oughta give the ol' girl a bath......

Finally got the RX7 out for coneage (autocross) yesterday. Aside from being a bit "breezy", the weather was great. The car ran great, and other than some minor tire rub issues, thanks to the damaged rear quarter, everything was great. Brought home yet another 1st place trophy in CSP.
I just dunno what's redder, my F150, my RX7, or my arms/neck........ Yepperz, I'm "officially" a redneck, at least for a few days.

 

Conrats on winning in your class! How many cars were in it?
I really want to find a place to autocross.

 

I don't feel this was a big enough to start a new thread.
What year were power windows first offered in the '80-'86 trucks? (Those are the first years they were available)
I'm not new, Just never really interested in '80-'86 trucks, until recently.

 

I should be going to the junkyard today...there are a couple of F-Series with power windows. I'll check the door tags and see what the earliest one is, maybe that will help answer your question.

Well people, it seems I have one of three problems: Either my new gauge cluster, at least the gas gauge part of it, is bad; or my sending unit in my rear gas tank is messed up; or I'm getting 2mpg. My truck runs like a top, but the gas gauge tells me that I ran out a quarter tank of premium gas in 3-4 miles. On a 302 with a C6 and 2.75 gears...

I'm convinced it's the gauges. I never had this problem prior to putting in the new gauges. In fact, I filled the tank last week or the week before, and it lasted me a whole week, to the day. Now the gauge needle drops just going a block from my house.

 

My guess is tha gauge - mine goes through a whole tank in 9 gallons according to th egauge.

On a side note, I just put on a new carb and hope that I can get some better mileage out of this truck!

 

I wondered that too. But today I filled it up to 1/4 tank, and I did about 10 miles of driving, and the gauge actually acted normal. Barely moved from 1/4, which would put me at around 10-12mpg (I can live with that). But then, first big bump I come to, the gauge suddenly tells me I'm almost to the Empty line. I'd say that almost sounds like a sending unit, since if the truck sits for a while, the gauge usually goes back up. I'd use the other tank but it's been unused in 5-6 years. I don't even want to think about what kind of gunk is in there....lol

Oh and today I went to the junkyard and got a pair of like-new 1980 clear parking light lenses for $10. One of them has a little chunk broken out of the notched opening for the light bulb socket though, so the socket doesn't fit right. I have duct tape, however, so the problem shall soon be rectified. :P I noticed someone snagged the driver side door off the F250 on the lot, and as a result, I somehow discovered that the truck has a tilt column. So I might see about picking that up if it's any good. The latching mechanism and stuff seemed nice and tight, nothing felt sloppy at all. I just don't know if it matters that the truck it's in is a diesel.

 

I need a new colum for my 90, its shot.

My 83 the tank goes from full to empty in 9.5 gallons, and it has a new sending unit that tests good.
