room is as clean as it gets... I will move Lizz and Dixxie out to make room for others.
Hoping to pick up a new manifold before the weekend so maybe I can get help with Lizz. I have the 1500 sp back in and the fire breather is on the motor stand.

I could bring some bat wings we could strap on it and call it a dragon?

Just leave the part where it is and support it with some duct tape, then remove the engine and tranny around it.  Installation is reverse of removal.

Spring Tune up is this Saturday, March 20th!

I picked up the tune-up parts from DIP yesterday.  We'll be replacing cap, rotor, plugs and wires.  I imagine we'll do a valve adjustment too (Thanney - do you need a valve adjustment).

Show up between 9 and 10 am and we'll get to work!

I knew I should have checked this thread before I left this morning  :-\

My lack of Dutch Love this morning probably has to do with why my rear main seal went out on 217 south heading down to Wilsonville after the shop day this morning...yeah you heard that correctly.  :(

Anyway, more of that in another thread, here are a few pics of this mornings activities. Myself, Duane, Glen, Jeff, Russ, Thanny and his dad were all in attendance. Big ups once again to Glen and Kirsten for letting us take over their garage

I'd like to thank Glenn and Kirsten for allowing us to lower the property values in their neighborhood by hosting the tune-up day.  I hope the people that were looking at the house next door were not scared off.

Thank you to everyone that showed up.  Thanney's car was a good one to work on - the baby webers made it a bit challenging, but it sure was running nice afterwards.
