Gee after I got my hair all cut short and cut the beard down I look o l d

Came assembled but I do not trust anybody on my race engines but me. Seen to much "close enough" things or just stupid or unintentional mistakes. Example was my 261 GMC 6 for my 41 Chevy. Had Jack Merkel Racing do the over bore, deck the block, line bore and balance . I picked it up as an assembled short block. I popped the pan off to put a cast aluminum one and and saw they added balance weights on the con rods that were welded over the oil feed holes. Engine would have lasted a few minutes at best. They didn't know the rods had dippers and pressurized oiling. Don't ever assume the work is 100% even if I am standing there. Plus I always Rust O Lium the lifter valley to add oil return and seal the casting.

Yep! The blown small block I put in in September lasted only 5 runs, but than again it was build in the 90's and laid in a container for 20+ years before I used it. I'm thinking that this engine is already doesn't have enough cubic inches.

That was summer of 1966 at West Hampton Raceway on Long Island New York. Blowers were not really rare on the east coast. After the SS/X cars hit the scene in 1964 4/71 and 6/71 blowers got the be the hot item. Than again I was it the thick of Motorsports. Up till 1980's we had 4 drag strips, three oval tracks and Bridge Hampton road track. Bill Thomas World Performance, Jack Merkel Racing engines, Baldwin Motion, Speedwin Automotive, S&K Speed who sponsored Tommy Ivo in the late 60's, Plainview Fords Islander 427 Mustangs, Vitar Racing Automatics and Tobias Modifieds. All on an island 30 miles wide and 100 miles long.

My 55 fits in nostalgia gas easily since it has been a "gasser" since 1962. Rules The following rules were drafted with the idea that the Nostalgia Gassers Racing Association will conform to the intent of all True Nostalgia Gassers Associations. The intent is for all cars in competition to closely resemble the outward appearance of the “Gas Coupes/Sedans” class cars of the 60’s. Anything that makes a competitor appear like a “Bracket Car” will be disqualified from participating as part of the association. All decisions made by the tech committee of the association regarding any appearance issue(s) will be final.

Yeah, just crippled in 2009

Gee it was in all the papers. Today, we mourn the passing of an old friend by the name of Common Sense. Common Sense lived a long life, but died from heart failure early on election day 2016.. No one really knows how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He selflessly devoted his life to service in schools; hospitals, homes, factories and offices, helping folks get jobs done without fanfare and foolishness. For decades, petty rules, silly laws and frivolous lawsuits held no power over Common Sense. He was credited with cultivating such valued lessons as to know when to come in from rain, the early bird gets the worm and life isn't always fair. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn), reliable parenting strategies (the adults are in charge, not the kids), and it's okay to come in second. A veteran of the Industrial Revolution, the Great Depression, and the Technological Revolution, Common Sense survived cultural and educational trends including feminism, body piercing, whole language and new math. But his health declined when he became infected with the "if-it-only-helps-one-person-it's-worth-it" virus. In recent decades, his waning strength proved no match for the ravages of overbearing federal legislation. He watched in pain as good people became ruled by self-seeking lawyers and enlightened auditors. His health rapidly deteriorated when schools endlessly implemented zero tolerance policies; when reports were heard of six year old boys charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; when a teen was suspended for taking a swig of mouthwash after lunch; when a teacher was fired for reprimanding an unruly student. It declined even further when schools had to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student but couldn't inform the parent when a female student is pregnant or wants an abortion. Finally, Common Sense lost his will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, churches became businesses, criminals received better treatment than victims, and federal judges stuck their noses in everything from Boy Scouts to professional sports. As the end neared, Common Sense drifted in and out of logic but was kept informed of developments, regarding questionable regulations for asbestos, low-flow toilets, smart guns, the nurturing of Prohibition Laws and mandatory air bags. Finally, when told that the homeowners association restricted flags to those who supported non patriotic views, he breathed his last. Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son Reason. His three stepbrothers survive him: Rights, Tolerance and Whiner. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

No. We call them Shoe Box Fords.

Welcome! nice units, don't know which I like more the Mack or the Ford. Macungie is the ATCA event of the season. Close to the Mack Museum and always cool rigs and people. Around the middle of June.

Yes the pluses generally out weigh the negatives in California depending on what type of business you have. You do at least the good weather, clean cities and reasonable taxes and a massive work force. The minor issue with homelessness and a small number of migrant workers is not a real issue compared to the good points.

Chassis looks great! Going to be a sharp looking tractor when you finish it. Paul

Emissions generated during charging should also be figured into their "zero" emissions claims, but than we would see they are not as clean as we are lead to believe. The carbon foot print is greater than the "dirty" fossil fueled vehicles when you figure in manufacturing and disposal of the batteries. CARB's using off shore companies probably has something to do with the CARB Rules of Liability for future environmental issues with the build. A large amount of U.S. companies won't jump through California DOT and CARB's micro management of job sites and equipment..

Merry CHRISTMAS!! Cooler here the elves needed capes.

Gabrielli Mack on Long Island always got me parts I needed for my R with no issues and the Mack dealer in Richmond Va just last week got me parts for it in a few days with no issues, think your dealer just can't be bothered. Call Watts 1-888-304-6225 (who owns this site) and ask for Barry in parts and tell him you're from the BMT site.

Does the vacuum choke pull off work and is it adjusted to specs? That is a big issue with QJ's

Boys been livin in the attic too long. Moxie is supposed to be kind of flat, probably gives the same review to milk. It's pure heaven to me...

No return item is really necessary, consider it a good Mack award.

It was taken in Toronto Canada 1956 or so.
