I don't recall seeing many growing up? I went to grade school next to the highway and living a few blocks away I could hear trucks pulling the grade all night with the windows open. The most memorable one was when I went to Syracuse National convention(2003). An orange one showed up pulling a couple coils.....basically in it's work clothes.

Rick over on JOT has this little jewel:

Depending on what you want, new, used, used up? I got tired of dealing with my old tanks and spent the money on a new set of alum tanks from Alumitank. About 700/ea. Nice, really nice. Exact replica of the 40 gal tank.

Looks familiar.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzxNeh8WdgQ

Nice pull! I missed the Portage county fair last weekend. We usually go to see the semi's on Sat, but had a race to attend. With my poor showing, I'd been better off to see the pulls!!! LOL! We did get to the demo derby on Wed. Stark County is this weekend, not sure what weather will be like? The hard part at Portage is the 3 hours of everything else til they get to the big trucks. Not that all the other classes are bad, but I like trucks. Our backs and butts are plenty sore by 11pm when the trucks come out.

With my racing outcome....I'd been better off coming to the show!!! LOL!! Glad to hear you had a great turn out. I saw a few pics on FB the other day.

Sneakers on a jobsite? Ya, I'm thinking she isn't going to be one of the people doing much. Likely a city inspector? Does Randy know her??

Doesn't look much different then this............ Besides a shiny grille............ Somehow I don't notice any "retro" styling?

I'm not worried about having it saved for weeks, 48 hours is long enough before it overwrites. I'm not gone for long periods of time. I don't care if it runs constantly, heck my motion lights kick on for every damn moth flying by! I think about 6 cameras would do me well. The hard part is my garage is not attached and getting the cable pulled to it(through the existing conduit) would be a bitch, especially if more then for one camera. There is only like a 1 1/2" pipe going and there is 100amp service already in it, so not much room for a bunch of cables. Not that I wear a foil hat, but I don't really care for the internet style systems. Seems that ANYONE could hack into it, I'd rather have something more permanent at the house. I'd like to use my phone to see it, but I guess I'm still hesitant of hackers.

Good post. I've contemplated putting up cameras of some nature. Haven't pulled the trigger, yet. I have heard enough about "clarity" to actually be of any use. Cheap stuff won't get it. Not ready to spend thousands. Neighbor is an ATT security rep. Not sure if they do cameras or motion/doors/fire?

Looks bad, but I'm confused. What machine is it?

From my limited experience, there is a ball in the flywheel that indexes it to the crank flange detent. If that ball was not used, it can be bolted on incorrectly and timing mark will be wrong. I only know this from when I put the 237 in my truck. I saw the bolt pattern was symmetrical and wondered how you would know how to put it on. That is when I saw the ball/detent and realized that is how. But can see how it could be left out and just bolted on any way you wanted. Thus causing problems when you timed it.

Ya, I've seen the ad on FB before. I drooled over them as a replacement for my busted up Bentz bunk. BUT pricing was not even in my ballpark and I was able to fix up my old bunk and put it back on. Oh well.

Nice!!!

Yup, saw the "vegan" description and knew it was not going to end well. Guess all that "Fake' news wasn't all Fake? You just have to be smart enough to know which is which.

It was just a linear actuator moving it, so you could fabricate something likely on any other model if it had enough structure to support it. I've used these folks before on a project. Quick shipping and priced reasonable. https://www.progressiveautomations.com/

Friend has electric version on his K100. Since it's a toy and rarely pulls a trailer he runs with it down and then puts it up at shows. Here it is with BJ truck:

Friend has similar issue. His Jag has a 402 BBC in it. Dynoed 500 hp. HAHAHAHAHHA............

Daggonit, I've got a race this weekend.

Have you called Adelmans? I haven't driven by lately, but surely they might have something similar. http://www.adelmans.com/

Never saw the whole movie, but have this clipped saved on my favorites: Lots of cool old iron, including a couple R models.

From 1992....

Ditto. I really like my triplex behind my 237. I went to check on retuning the pump but they started talking THOUSANDS of dollars and that made my mind up to leave it alone. I only split 4 and 5th gears. Makes it nice actually to drop 1/2 gear on long grades and not have to lug it all the way down to 1100 rpm.

Mine gets there a bit quicker with 428/2x4's/4 spd! Some day I'd like to strip it all down and freshen it up. The paint is getting just a bit old.
