Guess I need to catch up. SAC = Strategic Air Command, AOC = Actions On Command and a host of others.

Those are anti Unicorn Rockets. . .thought Olama banned them

Aha! That would be what the SAC means on both tags. Special Allis Chalmers not Strategic Air Command. Right in front of my face.

I'd appreciate that. I did see the Cummins water pump housing for the 1940's Indy car that was 3D metal printed and held a few Mercedes metal printed parts for a 300. Sounds like a good possibilty for a few of my Packard parts.

Does the decoder have any engine designations? You know one of mine has a Purple 2400 engine. Paul

I wondered how you were doing. Last post had the chassis primed and on wheels outside you shop. How long and cost on the #D printing? Paul

I recall that camera was the Jimmi Hendrix Purple Haze edition but it was pulled because Prinz's estate wanted royalties from using the word purple. It was on CNN so it must be true..

DC 10264 AT translated is * Cab-DC = Diesel w/ Convention cab depending time spread. The DC call out precedes the the final cab (which Acar called it when introduced) back to the flat windshield cabs *Axle setting = 102 axle forward *Chassis, A = Aluminum light weight T = tandem * Engine configuration D = diesel . 'A' generally is light weight Aluminum chassis, cab ,hood with steel or fiberglass fenders. Their designations are very hard to decipher IMO and I own 3.

Plus it is good to see the PAACAR crowd look at you funny when you shift a few times backing up.

You can still get them but have deep pockets, list is $1449.00 each , I found a pair of Racingjunk.com for $700.00 and spent $80 E fuel kits for kits. I have 4 Holly 3bbls two 900 cfm's from Cotton Owens 1964 NASCAR Dodge one 750 on a Tarantula manifold from my 1971 Challenger and one NOS 950 for big block Ford, Mopar or GM. and bumping at mandatory chute at 150mph, which I knew of, but car NEVER went 150. When I got called to the tower I said that and they did not want to hear it. My final test run was 9.32@147mph. So the old MOPAR was gettin it done and still had better ET to go. So was ALLOWED to enter elimination with with a 10.00 dial-in. Pedaled it with a 10.22 lost by .047 on purpose pulled right into the trailer and have NEVER been back to a strip. Fact is that it take a lot of time and money to have a competitive car pay all the BS fees to race then tell me I'm to fast... even-though both me and the car have been racing for the past 35 years... WTF. 👎 👎 Up grading the roll cage makes sense and the chute makes sense because the car definitely is at the limit on brakes. The other stuff in a few words is F them. The car runs Nostalgia Gas Association rules so the will be legal with the cage mods and a small chute. The tech guy looked me over on the way in and told me I would be lucky to break high 11's. He also laughed at my casters just below the rear bumper. Chevies weight is down to 2245 and it's a hardtop no less, BDS 8-71 496 big block running 28 psi boost through a race propped Super T10 with 20% set back to 1957 Oldsmobile 4:88 locker with quarter elliptic rear springs and home brew lock shocks" that limit suspension travel to 3 inches and with 31.5 inch tall slicks. The car is capable with more tire than 11 inches of tire of easily going deep into the 9's. I'll be going through this again late this season or early next with my ex Mickey Thompson Titanium Pinto 1972 funnycar, set up for Nostalgia. Aside from the up grades to bring the chassis up to 250 mph specs and the Blown fuel Kaase 820 c.i. Boss 9 the balance is old school. I was already told if I run it I can only run 1/2 track so guess I'll only run full out on the last half. Roll bar is 11:39, cage is 9:99 and chute is 10:50 All redone as a 350 mph pro track now. not for the regular people any more. Spent the entire day there and made 4 runs because the "professionals were testing there", so the nobodies had to bow out..

The carbs are made to run up to 100% Alcohol with Holley kits. bodies are coated in Dupont Colar fuel proof heat bonded epoxy guts are Viton power valves, needles and accelerator pump diaphragms and the floats are nylon. The fuel pumps and all hoses are made for E85/ E100and all the feed lines are stainless steel. You may need to play with a power valve and accell cam and spring. Ethanol will eat pot metal and some grade of aluminum so be warned. I used the same materials that the Flex Fuel trucks use. Personally I don't let it sit with Alcohol I drain them and run a 1/2 gallon of real gas through them . All Ethanol and methanol are hyroscopic, the one trick for street is to run Stabil Marine green and keep the tank totally topped up if it sits. Only issue I had this weekend was heat soak when I rans one run after the other. That I'll fix with a 3/8 inch phanolic spacer under the carbs Running a pair of 950 cfm 2 barrels. Got protested but they are legal being only 2 barrels the look like 4 barrels. Rules are single 4 barrel or a pair of 2 barrels, I'm sure the rules will change next year because of me

1925 Fageol 6 ton truck with GE brand AC-DC converter. Used on movie sets in the 1920's 30's and 40's to power cameras and lighting for movie shoots. Electrical converter unit has been restored, Truck has 6 cylinder Hall Scott engine, 4 speed manual transmission with under and overdrive secondary gearbox. Everything is in great working condition. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/fageol/unspecified/2272629.html?refer=blog

Can't find the thread on it but it was an interesting story how it was saved. Paul

Stainless Steel Beer Keg.

105 + degrees at Richmond Speedway does interesting things to Alcohol . 3 runs and they flagged me because I'm quick enough to require a chute and extra brace on roll bar. One run to set launch rpm with a perfect reaction time(no idea how I did it!), one run in competition against blown 302 GMC six cylinder T altered . I lost with massive fuel evaporation and starting to over heat, a shame because that run had the potential to get into mid 9's and low to mid 140's. and the last one where the 1948 Dodge with a blown 392 hemi red lighted, that run was close to even. Only ran E85 this trip, next trip I'll run E100 Alcohol with 50% Benzene. Not bad for a car thats been drag raced for 57 years and a driver on the down side of 60.

Bet it can't compete with Husseys urinal though. . . .

Lobsta, Moxie and Whoopee Pies the official foods on Maine add a dozen Chesapeake Crabs and I'm happy

Isn't that unit on loan to Mack? I recall a threat on saving it here a few years ago.

When my wife was alive she would not let me order at McDonalds or Roy Rodgers because I'd ask for a Flipper Mcfish or Trigger on a bun. She was mortified but the staff had no clue.

Top one is / was air start by the long tank

Took this a while ago finally figured how to get it off my phone.

But it was not too bad. In the early 1980's Micky Dee's made 60,000 Mac-Fish burgers from it
