    Well, you might get it back together by Halloween but you still won't be able to drive it...that pesky fuel filter issue will take at least a few more months!! :rofl2: :rofl2:

    Its sad but you are probably right. Besides the fuel filter I need to replace the hose under the car. Then I need to redo a buut of the fuel system un der the hood since I removed the nitrous. I also have a bit of wiring to remove from the relays and toggle switches I used for arming the nitrous and the MSD Rpm activated switch. I should be motivated to finish it up once the trannys in. But the end of october sure is approaching fast.


    And thanx Craig. Ill watch for it.

    AND the CARDS do SUCK. THe were beginning to suck after the first game. now they are in full in suck mode. Now the Dbacks are done. And basketball is locked out I have nothing to watch. Guess I should be working on the car anyways.

    Shut yo Mouth. Sure you can tune a Holley for more power it seems but the Edelbrock is super easy to setup for street driving and to get passed emissions. Less parts to fail and less variables to adjust.

    Holleys are like High Maint., temper "MENTAL" women. I like my carbs to be trustworthy, predictable( Jet It, Set it,Forget it)and they have to taste good.:rofl2:
    Were we talking about cars, Women or beer, some how these subjects confuse me.

    Im sending the trans member from Vegas, no way to ship on monday besides I was on the road. To many meetings today, I will get it out tommorro.

    Is this your week in Vegas Craig? Have fun bud. Wish I was up there donating my money to the Las Vegas economy. GO Give the Craps table a workout and then sit at the cheapest Blackjack table there is and drink free beer until you cant sit no more.

    And thanks for shipping out the cross member. Whenever you have time man.
