I have a job. Already posted I think.

What's Arnie's Problem? Jack up the taxes on all these way overpaid enterainers (Actors, acresses, rock stars, etc and all their brethren, producers, directors, et al. ) They can afford it! Problem solved!

Kinda jaded towards Hollywood since a lil skank I used to work with is now on "Big Brother". LORD what a lying tramp! And I won't watch, (I'd strangle the "kung-fu" bitch!!)

But you guys shouldn't have to make up for what they don't pay! That just ain't right!

Ray

Lol, Sounds good ralph. I don't even know where they are, really. I thought Skip had 'em. Guess Jim still does, lol.

No big hurry, but sounds like a plan if you don't mind tossing them in with your "Bolt Bin".

Thanks!

Ray

Nordie, you'll be missed! But I fully understand Lil brother!

Omar just upped the ante a TAD! (And made my mind a complete blank! Not hard to do)

Gimme another beer, lol

Ray

Well, since you're like 3500 miles away or something, I was gonna suggest you bring a basic drum kit to Blythe in August, but that's a bit far, lol.

I think Terry's coming, I'm gonna bring the 12 string, maybe another acoustic or 2, Enginedoctor may just show up, lol should be better than the karoake at the Bar during Brad and Jen's Bachelor/Bachelorette party!

Verdicts out on whether Mike (Rivertard) is gonna go or not, or Omar (Beerjet). Nordie can dress up his ass, let's see if he can sing out of it........

Ray

I gotcha covered on Blythe. You buy your gas. I'll take care of the Motel fees. we're good! (Bring my headers from Jim, lol I have a MOTIVE).

Ray

Yeah, no shimming a Ford starter. But a nose cone breaking or cracking means the bendix gear is riding up on top of the ring gear. The ONLY way that can happen, unless something else got caught up in it. (In which case, you have maybe another issue, loose parts rolling around in the bellhousing, like a bolt that came out of the crank, or something.) Is a worn flexplate gear or bendix.

If you're flexplate has any wear to it to the point where you can feel a 'lip' halfway or even partway back on any teeth, it needs to go away and be replaced. I read broken nose cone, and I would replace it anyway, regardless, as well as (obviously) the starter.

Again, just my input, but I've seen this before on street engines and it's ALWAYS one of these things.

Ray

No I haven't, but trust me if Nick says it's nice, it's NICE! (I know he wanted it, but the guy wouldn't sell, then decided to sell after Nick bought another one)

Ray

Yes you can! Who are you kidding?

(Gotta PM coming your way about that engine I bought too, you're not gonna like me very much after this, Why oh WHY wasn't this around when Chromey needed a motor? Now I gotta put it in sumpin lol)

Thumpity Thump

So what I'm getting from this extended exercize is that switching the intake to a 4500 Dom intake when using a dom carb instead of the adaptor on a 4150 style intake MAY be worth 14 or so HP? (Less on the scale Tom posted, only 6 HP).

I dunno much about technicals on boats, but I do know cars and a 10HP change can only be felt by the best of them. I would imagine even 14-20 HP increase would be hard to notice except on the extreme ends.

So therein lies the quagmire, why do they sell Dominator intakes at all? lol (Seems lke a waste of time and money to do so from a manufacturers standpoint).
