Tike Manheim has a 2 1/2 ton wwII amphibious truck up for auction, just on the news!
A friend gave me a bag of mini's so I was trying different ones and even mixed a little 7-up in. I found Smirnoff Coconut made quite a nice potent fruity mixer. May have to try it on a larger level
I saw that. I wonder if they would allow me on the lake with that.

Ugh man them things are death traps. My dad had one, sold it in 1994. There was a lake north of Terre Haute that we used to take it on, was great if the thing didnt hit something or bog down, but if it stopped moving, it would literally start slowly sinking in the water. It’s almost like the buoyancy was just enough to float if no one was in it. But loaded, it’d sink fast if it stopped moving.
He sold it to help fund the purchase of the half track
Didn't know that. This lake is deep!
Coconut? I caint believe I even typed that. Now I gotta go vomit.
Coffee I need coffee

Too many close calls for me to ever get on one again. And if your lake is large enough to get tall waves from wind, don’t be out there when it is waving. It’ll swap the thing and sink like a rock. They don’t have pumps
No, not tested, but two doctors looked at it...
Duck boats never thought they looked safe. A reason the military sold/gave them all away. A couple years ago one went down on the lake at Branson. 24 people died. Sunk like a rock in rough waters.
A guy I knew in HI piced up a WWII PT boat. I helped him do some things on it that was cool!
Sounds like a not well thought out great idea. They have a amphibious car show up here every year
Finally got through all that NOS holley stuff. Took what I wanted a lot of Ford ignition parts if you know anyone that can use them let me know.
Now a PT boat would be great!
I gotta go. Have fun people
Powered by a Packard I see
Would think most of the wear would be on the nose - and for that we can reference the lift spec.
I assume the best way to measure is a solid lifter and measure the cam direct rather than at the valve.
Hey as you may or may not remember I now have the correct Carter carb on the car. I'm still running the fuel line from the fuel pump to carb that I used for the Edlebrock. Difference is the Edlebrock off the fuel line to the carb used a short piece of rubber to connect to the carb. The Carter has a fitting on the side into the fuel line
I ordered a fuel line from in-line. We laid it out yesterday, for a comparison and "how's it look" and it doesn't look like it comes close to a fit. It looks nothing like the fuel line I have in now. Looking for a recommendation as to where I can find the correct fuel line for a 67 383.

That's the point - did you read the other thread? Chrysler book specs are not at .006" valve. They are based on the intersection of two lines on the cam drawing. That's what Wyrm's written and it seems correct. IIRC he said it works out that the book spec on the opening side is around .008 but not exact.
Here is the Best Stuff ever to cure Poison Ivy effects.
Prednisone, 20 MG, Take one tablet twice daily for 7 days. Starts working immediately, great relief.
Get your doctor to prescribe this for you, inexpensive under 10.00 dollars for the prescription.
The oils from the poison ivy is what is making your body react to it. Prednisone temporarily shuts down your immune system so that your body quits reacting to it and it heals right up.
I can get poison ivy just by looking at it from 100 feet away. I must have had it 8 times now over the years cleaning out the tree line around here.
AMS obsolete
Trying to get a 340 cam made?
