I noticed that about the Apache, especially the rear wheels and tires. They’re not even dirty. Thought that was really weird. I had not thought of that … bob

Yeah, thanks Larry. That’s what I’m hoping. We had a lousy weather and I wasn’t feeling so good. I’ll be out there tomorrow trying to get the valve covers cleaned up and put them back on see what happens. I’m also going to tighten up that fuel leak. I had the same issue with a 180 naturally aspirated years ago. In a 62 F model The valve adjustment cured it. I was also poking around online and my fuel injectors are still available rebuilt 80 bucks apiece. -

when i used to do my meet and turns carlin nv,,,,i used to get a kick out of watching these guys going back and forth numerous times to back into a straight hole,,,,like wow man,,,,how the hell did you pass your test?????
-
ok thats some funny shit,,,,,thats why we all had to start on the dock,,,,,and train with a guy that started on chain drives
-
the cabs in those things were not built for very tall people,,,,only shot you got is to go from high back captain seat to a thinner shorter seat,,,which will give you more leg room but they wont be as comfortable as what you have,,,good luck ,,bob

It’s a no-brainer, but the other side never wants to disturb the dirt unless it’s lithium no limit dig dig dig I think we’re back to the original complaint. Why don’t we just do it here?
-
He did mention that Swift does not chain up . I did not know that it might have something to do with that because there was chain controls on Donner pass, and it was closed on and off for several days.

Well, that sucks but time changes everything. It looks like it used to be a firehouse.
