Stop in for a cup of coffee

Good evening. I am not sticking around because I am headed to bed. But I had someone call to ask me a question that I do not have an answer.
He has an 11" flywheel I guess externally balanced. Will this fit a 360 in a car or is it for trucks
11 inch is truck i believe.
 
Why do auto parts and tool suppliers only send me coupons and advertising for things I've already purchased?

Seems in today's age they'd have some algorithm that would project the most likely next purchases.... instead of offering a coupon for brake cleaner after I just bought 3 cans.
Soggy start here. Should stop around noon and dry up by about the time I go in to work. :BangHead:
 
Nice! Which converter did you put in?

Honestly not 100% on brand but it stalls to 3000-3200 ish. I had bought it for when the small block was going back in my Demon. Internally balanced so I couldnt use it at the time I changed mine. Now I have an external B&M flex plate so I can use which ever just by changing flex plates.
 
@memike I love hanging out with these youngsters. Never a dull moment.

:lol: It's moored at the airport down the street
 

The neighboring village, Lompoc, home of Vandenberg SFB, Lompoc Federal Correctional Institute, and Surf Beach was a fixture on Shark Week for quite some time. Surf Beach in October of even numbered years was not a good place to engage in ocean going activities for quite a number of years. For 6 years some poor soul became a snack for a Great White Shark at Surf beach.

Discovery had a show of the incidents during their annual Shark Week.
 
All good. Some charts call it normal range, some borderline high. Mine has always been around that 125 number. I'm sure my weight doesn't help.
Yep, mine stay around 123 over 80 I think, says its good for our age, maybe its not, have to get an answer on that. But they say it good. 192 lbs 5'7", I need to loose 20 lbs
Got it changed. 2400 changed to 3000 Night and day difference. So much easier to drive and does great burnouts now too. Marie got in there and helped too. Was a great day. Then met up with Jeff, Brian, @FISHYPETE @66340SEDAN for some pizza. Sprained my knee tho (or something)

My blood pressure has reduced a little since I got home. Now around 129/80, but was higher in VN..I only take 2.5 mg of Lisinopril each day, but I ran out on my last day in VN. A week previous to running out, I ordered some online so they would be here when I got home. Ordered on June 22nd, just got them yesterday......:wtf::mob:
 
Circling back...

Round Robin of parts stores as usual. Lower radiator hose is problematic Autozone stated they can have it by 3pm. Tick tick tick
 
I don't know if this helps or not. But if I found that I could not get a hose that I wanted. I would go into the parts store and have them let me look at all the hoses on the racks. I would pick one out that would work or that I could cut a section out of that would work. A hose that had all the right angles obviously. But always make sure you put a spring in the lower hose to stop it from collapsing.

Thanks for the tip Mitch

Yeah, they kept on offering up the "flex hoses" but you can't really cut those to fit as they only have a small section that is not corrugated.

It's a funky bend and twist anyhow so I wanted the preformed one.

I NEVER use those flex hoses on anything. They look like ****...Formed hoses are the only way to go....Especially when people will be looking at your work under the hood...
