No thanks, unfortunately I am not a cat person. Used to be really allergic to cats, dust and just about anything else that's soft and squishy. No longer allergic to anything anymore but still not a cat lover. Not a hater, just not a lover. lol
Hissss lol
 
It's okay Bill, the people who aren't cat people besides a few whisperers like John and myself seem to get the most attention from cats. You'll see this summer shadow will be a great friend to you lol
 
I too want to be like John! Hence why I tell my old friend Tim I’m putting my car on alcohol and a powerglide and he sure doesn’t like when I say it lol

When my son Matt did it years ago I was so pissed you wouldn’t believe it. Lol. Stinky azz crap that brought tears to my eyes and I hated the fact that we had barrels of alcohol around. But boy did he help shorten my learning curve. Now if I had to buy 14.00 racing gas that would bring tears to my eyes.

I’d smoke myself out if I switched to alky without major changes to my headers. Plus I have to switch my fuel pump, regulator, and lines cause mine is just an A1000. So like the glide swap, would cost me a lot to make the overall change.

Maybe we can just get Bill to go alky since it’s not feasible for me to do it at the moment hahaha. He’s already going glide, and having you do head work for him. May as well make it the ultimate with alky as well.

You guys need to stop trying to spend my money! :lol:
 
I don’t go to swap meets because typically all I see is junk but I decided to go to the annual swap meet at Pacific Raceways because a friend had a booth and offered to sell off some stuff for me and it’s at the racetrack so why not?

My friend ended up selling a bin full of parts and a set of wheels and tires that I will never use plus, I found a brand new $440 Harwood aero scoop for $100. Came home with $800 cash in my pocket and a brand new scoop so it wasn’t a bad day at all.

And as expected, I’m already getting it ready to trim and install on my new hood that isn’t even here yet. lol

$7.00 AV gas dude
 
$7.00 AV gas dude

My 572 has dished pistons and a .060 thick head gasket for nitrous but if I ran it NA I could get away with cheaper racing gas. When I had my Indy tunnel ram for sale a guy from APD carbs wanted it so they built me a billet 1250 and I gave him the tunnel ram and some cash. (Black carb). Then I told my buddy I may just run my 572 NA on alcohol so I sent him one of my 1150’s from the tunnel ram and he converted it to alcohol. So I’m ready either way.
