Well, I got a "new" carb for my truck today. Got it off ebay for 89 bucks shipped to my door. The guy wasn't positive what carb it was, but it appears to be a 390. For the price, I didn't want to pass it up. Everything looks to be in decent shape, though it will need a rebuild. Even if I need a new base plate, the total cost will still be half the price of what I have been finding. Now onto the intake manifold and exhaust manifolds. Then the DUI distributor will come in also. Here we go ponies!

ray was nice enough to let me take one of the old service trucks, i left my bike up there. supposed to be storming and i can use the truck to run my tires and rims out to branford and get the mudders on and the bald highway sneaks thrown out. this morning while i was riding to work i sissied out and got behind a truck doing 50 and drafted the whole way in to newington it was just way too cold.

I am most certainly loving the cool weather! Winter and I get along well. I come from a long line of hearty people! Aaron, you may know what that is like if you keep eating your 5guys, haha.
