Our lab/Irish wolfhound mutt used to like to go into empty 40 lb food bags when she was a pup....
Blistering 61° outsideI'm thinkin' more coffee may be in order to just warm me up
I like it when it's cool like that...
I'll just put the mud tires back on it. I don't know how to put on chains
That reminds me of a joke... I can't tell it on a public forum as it's off color and may offend....

I have an actual Christmas story from my playing Santa days.
Well a few actually. One in particular really stands out.
Nope can't post them here.
Waiting for the repairman for the fridge to come... It's not staying cool...

Putting these new flip down adjustable LED lights in the garage. 450w. It’s going to glow when I get the next one in. Only 30 bucks at Lowe’s.

It's been going on for at least a week from what I can tell... I just figured it out yesterday....
I originally thought that it was because the door seal peeled back some on the bottom corner, so I stretched it out and put it back in its groove... It stayed in its groove and the next day, still not any warmer, so it wasn't the seal that was not letting it keep cool... Meanwhile most of the food has spoiled and I need to throw it out... Luckily I didn't stock up this week like I usually do....
We are using the kid's old mini fridge in his room from when he was at college.... He just can't put as much beer in it as he usually does until the big one gets fixed....
So I have a buddy locally who’s got a 440 build going, he’s actually building similar to my combo, just with ported iron heads instead of the RPM heads im using. He called me just now to talk camshafts and we looked up the one I ordered in June, so glad I did. Both Summit and Jegs have it as a special order with an estimate of 01-14-2022 as a ship date.
I built my 66 to hit 20 mpg. We will see....
Ya, think im going to give up on this carb. Will see what happens tomorrow.
Great minds think alike. I’m trying to do it with a 440!
I am going to swap in a 600 cfm carb. I have a 760 now. After I tune the 760 and see how lean I can get it and still not melt the engine...
The rear gears have a huge impact on that...
Gv has a .78 ratio
Nice. My t56 5th gear is .74:1 and 6th is .50. I have a 2.66 first gear, 1.72:1 2nd but I can swap that gear set out for the 2.97:1 and 2.04 set while retaining the .74 and .50. Most with the tall gear set end with a .62 6th
