Can anyone spell "Orfice" 1961 they did not know what a PCV was. They had an "Orfice". And they had a "Vent". Later when GMC came out with 350 cid small blocks the had a PCV valve ( a check valve) which took the place of the "Orfice", and the vent moved to the air filter. What our "W" friends...

Anyone planning on attending the Supercar Runion on July 27 & 28 at the the Gateway Center in Collinsville, Illinois? http://www.yenko.net/reunion/2007reunion.htm

I know it is past Memorial Day. But could not resist. WHAT IS A VET? Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or...

T-400 X-frame swap. Here are a couple of pics from my recent mock up on my 64. Notice the fuel line on the right frame rail (under wrenchs). That is where Year One bent the stainless lines for the powerglide trans mount. I moved them back and fliped the OE cross member and cut to fit. Seemed...

Pessimistic? History Repeats; The fall of Rome; The Goths flooding across her Northern Borders. My suggestion, invest in precious metals. Gold, Silver, Guns, x-frame chevy. In the mean time have fun. When poo-poo hits the fan, lock and load. I give it 5-years and the U.S.A. will be no...

Big Catfish!!! Man that guy knew what he was getting into fishing on a river with deep sea tackle. Good fight.

Crossover Thanks Fatride, but don't think that will work with my setup. I am having full length headers made. Collector flanges will go outside the frame left and right. Remember seeing someones pics of a crossover around the middle of the "X". Would like the noise control and performance...

Cross over? Hey fatride, where did you put your crossover?:scratch

Looks like a Gator without legs. Bet they eat ducks too.

While on rear suspension subjects also. Does anyone know why the frame mounts for the lower control arms have two sets of mounting holes? I read that the lower setting was for wagons. But it did noy say why. :dunno

Delet Rag Joint? :scratch Keith, When you deleted the rag joint for the u-joint. Do you get any noise or vibration from the road when you run over pebbles etc.? Reason asking is I am at this stage with my project. Waiting for column to arrive. Then tackle shaft link. Rag joint came with 605...

Stand By for some weather! Back to the cold weather news. Southern CA has been getting some very cold weather as of late. Snow in San Bernardino which stuck around on the ground until 10am. And ice all day today. Stand By you guys, because it is headed your way.:D

What it is. Hello rstreet, looking at the picture you were able to get of that submarine, I can definately tell you that it was an SSN (fast attack nuc.).

Glad you don't glow in the dark. Glad to hear you stuck with your trade rwagon57. I work with a guy who was a Nuc MM on the Pintado. He is now a Land Surveyor. Question: The Truxton, was that an L.A. class fast attack? Never heard of it. Probably after my time.

Hello rwagon57, I was PACFleet also. Spent 2.5 yrs. in Squadron 1 out of Pearl, then 2 yrs. in Group 7 out of San Diego. I was an Engineman, M- Division like you. Only we didn't play with zoomies. I was last of a phased out rating on subs. Question, you don't still glow in the dark do you? :cool:
