Come out a hour later starts up choke cable is frozen:mob:

Lots of shitty coverage with the action up here. News is so full of bs i cant watch it.
 
Anyone got a lead on a passenger side from fender for a 74 dart swinger? Pretty sure I tweaked mine while moving it per court orders today
 
Took some pics at the house today. Her dress is traditional Vietnamese Ao Dai. The tree is the famous Tet tree, that blossoms once a year during Tet. They are everywhere during Tet. Families that don't already have one growing at their house, go out and buy them for decoration. Called Apricot Blossom Tree.

So much for the cruise night. :BangHead: Misread the little advertisement in the little newspaper "4th Saturday of the month" :BangHead:
Have to get my Hot Rod fix with the Donut Derelicts in the morning :lol:
 
Tet is this coming Monday evening and Tuesday?
Yes its different days every year( Lunar Calendar ) Starts on Mon night the 31st this year and they celebrate all week long through Sunday. Then most people will go back to where they were working, before they came home to be with family for the holiday. There will be lots of partying and drinking this week, for sure...:lol:

Anders,

Have you seen this cam??? It's close to the one Hughes recommended for your engine and most likely a little cheaper....

[FOR SALE] - New Comp Cam Xtreme Energy 20 225-4 (A engine)
Thanks for the tip! That's a hydraulic, though. I'd really like a solid cam.

I'm a little hesitant now. Maybe the cam Hughes recommended is simply the one they have. It is their smallest solid cam. All the threads I've read talk about smaller cams and I think maybe the lift on the Hughes cam will cause problems, especially with the bigger valves.

On the other hand, changing the cam if it's too big isn't really a big deal.

I'm more uncertain than ever. Maybe I should stick to the 273 heads, give them a proper bowl job and a little porting and new guides.
 
Just finishef my first cup. Got this for christmas from my 10yo. I love it.
