I know reds hold up better for potato salad, fries and country (cubed) potatoes. They hold their shape if they are sliced or cubed. Whites are better for baked,mashes, or soups.

Are you skin or peeled?
I don't know I just came back from Carlisle in the F250
It has 267 k on the od and still kicking.
I like skin. Peeled only if they are mashed. If they are sliced or cubed, skins! All the goodie is in the skins.
If the slots are normal (old Holley) I do what I advised in some other threads.
If I've been running the carb, I measure the primary transfer slot exposure under the throttle plates first.
Unlike A/J I'm not a beleiver in rigid formulas
I just want them to be in the range of .020 - .040"
Then I write down how many 1/4 turns in of the idle speed screw from just touching gets .020, 030, and .040.
That way I can touch the idle speed screw and always have a couple reference points. If I get off track, I can bring it back into range.
There are, or were, some guys on RFS forum who ran set screws in from the bottom of the plate to reduce overly long transfer slots. This seems to be a problem on a lot of newer Holley style carbs.
Shout out to Hoppy and his wife Marylin for open their home to me overnight and feeding me her home made Eggplant Parm.
I don't understand why Hoppy doesn't weigh 300 lb,

Maybe one reason I'm more willing to mess around with the idile throttle position is that I usually know the advance curve.
Remember in some thread I told the person not to adjust the timing too much in his first test? I could do that because there was enough info about the advance that I knew it would be dog off-idle.

Good to know because I didn't know. Learn something new every day.
Sounds great. Glad you were up for the trip.
OK. I better work on dinner myself. Looks like I may have to hit the road and work on Monday...
Happy Birthday Craig
Hoppy and his wife sound like good people and hope to meet up with you all soon.
Speaking of supper, I took the Swinger over to the storage garage and stopped at PaPa Murphy's for a pizza. Got home and took a shower, came down stairs and was unwrapping the pizza and the doorbell rang. Lauren ordered a pizza. I guess we will have Pizza Hut instead.
He has the metabolism of a shrew
I understand, we all get to that point at one time or another, stand back away for a day or 3, I have felt the same way a few times
Thanks Mitch.
Good point Mike and it does help.
We also meet Steph. And her Husband, Nice guy for a Chevy owner
I'm sure over time we will bring him over to our side. Nice young man in their so Wyatt also.
Hops is correct.So.. kept reading how mini starters would have the power lug right on the block... ordered a delco and the connector is like 3" from the block.. whoo hoo! put the header in today and the starter won't fit with the header... just ordered a old school starter, was hoping to never hear that sound again
In fact, see if the adaptor on it is needed at all.
Mini Starter Terminal Thread Pitch
Does anyone happen to know what the thread pitch is for the two terminals on a denso-style mini starter? I realize they're probably metric right? Does anyone know size/pitch of both?

Haha this damn thing my brother picked out. It is a 1979 Ford 9000 L series grain truck. Triaxle and it’s been the biggest piece of **** we’ve ever had on this farm
Maybe one day we can convince him to buy a mopar for himself. He’s stubborn though. Wyatt enjoyed hearing the storiesWe also meet Steph. And her Husband, Nice guy for a Chevy owner
