Im headed to the parts store today then out to the garage. Im gonna start my exhaust for the roadster I think. Ive got do do a couple things (make some changes) then im going for it. Ill tack it all together then give it to my neighbor and have his relative tig it all up again. I can only do one side because i dont have enuff fittings and pipe bit that should keep me busy.

I'm going to try to get that quadrajet apart with-out tearing up the top gasket. I checked the compression on that V6 and got nothing on that questionable cylinder. Then after 24 hours of desiration ( why I missed CHAT) I made a tool to work the intake valve more than the cam does during cranking and the intake seated and I got compression. Going to do this to all the intakes and maybe try to get it to fire one cylinder at a time. I have the exhaust manifolds off and the spark plugs out and the carb off. Maybe if it was anything solid I can get it out. When the carb was on I didn't get any flow of gas(by gravity) past the float and filling the float chamber through the vent didn't give me any accelerator pump so I'm going to see how much of the flood of 2004 may still be in there after soaking. It's not like I'm going to drive this thing tomorrow so I've got to learn not to treat set-backs like de-feets. GPster

Going to clean up the roadster and get ready for the big first Saturday Cruise Night down in Jupiter. Maybe a little yard work before we leave.

Thanks for the reminder, it's 1:45 and I'm still sitting here playing on this stupid computer.

Think I'll head to the shop and finish cleaning it. Got about 1/3 done last weekend, and found stuff I forgot I even bought (where did that Drill Doctor come from ?)

Then I plan to get the 350 block that I just got back from the machine shop up on the stand and start grinding it smoother. Hope to start assembling it next week after I get bearings and stuff.

Not really. I hurt my foot on Thursday and can hardly walk without pain. So I am going to set in front of this machine and work on my 1,000 word essay due tomorrow.

If wild turkey doesnt work I have another remedy. Its a swift kick in the family jewels. What it does is make you forget all about the pain in your foot
