mowerman Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I do think consignment was the way to go… I’ve always had lousy luck trying to sell anything … I can only remember twice I sold something really quick and got my price 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/87/#findComment-588570 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then all of a sudden I had a craving for a bag of chips... I was looking for bottom shelf chips. 2 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post Joey Mack Posted Sunday at 07:11 PM Popular Post Share Posted Sunday at 07:11 PM Well I got the top of the engine back together. I sand blasted and painted some parts. Thought it might look good. It fired right up. My match marks on the distributors worked great. Time for some cold 🍺... I still have to do the water pump and then I good test drive. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/87/#findComment-588842 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Thanks Paul. I hope I used enough RTV to seal the valley gaskets. I dont want any oil dripping. It ws very tight work area. I did RTV on both sides of the cork gaskets and in the seams as well. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/87/#findComment-588887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
