When I went to the last Bluewater trip, there was a T intersection with a tall sign saying Big River. Is this the same way I want to go, (rice road), or is there a shorter way from the OC ???

Sounds like it! Big ass sign on the opposite side of the road from the T, storage units just as you come down that road, that's the place!

Ray - you may want to google Chameleon Paint! Its worth a shot.  ;D
I know huh? Now that we've hi-jacked Don and Jana's thread all to hell about ME........

I'm so glad it went to them. I took a slight beating on it, but to be honest, no better people I'd rather it go to, save Farmergord. I think 'ol Gord feels slighted.

The reasons I bought it are the same reasons THEY bought it. Jana reminds me so much of Cindy it isn't funny. Don is so much NOT me, which means she has better taste and more wisdom........ :screwy:

I wish them the best of luck with it, and look forward to seeing it again many times on the water!   :thumbup:

I say repaint it like a giraffe or tiger...someone is gonna think its ray and roost the hell out of you



I've made it pretty well known that Moo has a new home and very sweet and inquisitive owners!! The new owners do NOT need to deal with the wrath any of you have planned for ME over this little bit of confusion........Deserved or not!  ::)........

Now that I say that...........maybe I best show up at the next gathering with a boat painted like......well.....water.......Then you guys can't see me!  ;D

Iv been looking into the MSD tach deal.. But the one summit shows with that part number has alot less wires than the 6 shown in the diagram. Also.. I was told I have a tach made for a mag (guessing that means an AC tach) Think the MSD would work still? Says transfers the Mag to DC volts. Heres a link to what Im looking at. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MSD-8132/

Check online for the manual for your make/model of tach. Might involve a few emails or phone calls to verify, but Could well be, in which case you're set and don't need that adaptor. Would be unusual to just HAPPEN to have such a tach.

The current MSD unit is different, but works the same. Call Joe Hunt with what you have, model numbers, etc. 916-635-5387. I'm sure they can tell you for sure if you can or can't, or what you need to do with what you got.  ;)

This should be the same info for anyone using the Vertex style internal transformer magneto. They are all the same mag, beleive it or not. The Mallory and MSD mag's are pretty much the same as well, but they are external transformer units also from the same Vertex, but external design, making them much easier to adapt to modern electronics. But I have a soft spot in my heart for the purist internal units.....they're Soooooo badass!

Sticky caliper...Need to pull the Calipers off check them, if pads are worn, replace the whole ball of cheese...Already did mine. :screwy:

http://www.dhmtrailers.com/online/home.php?cat=95   Pretty cheap if you shop around....


For the coupler...   http://www.ufpnet.com/Portals/0/PDFs/CouplerMaint.PDF

GT

Agreed. Sticky caliper. Rule of thumb I have always done is replace the rubber hoses, flush and replace all fluid anytime you replace calipers on anything. Heated caliper heat fluid, heats and softens rubber hoses, breaks down fluid.....etc, etc. Just cheap insurance.  :thumbup:

Replace pads also and check the rotors carefully or have a brake shop do it.

Ray

On a trailer, just a suggestion I did on my old Biesemeyer trailer, was put a set of BIGwheel chocks behind the rear tires and back it up into them. Then had a bud of mine open the bleeder screws on each side momentarily to verify the coupler cylinder was working.

the heads are stock ka and the cam is a 496 280 duration. pistons 60 over forged trws.miladon high volume oil pump with a 6 quart oil pan.with 1 carb 750 it turned 5000, with the 2 750s it turns 4800. went 2 stages leaner on both carbs and had to put in 1 stage hotter plugs in..in think its to much for my basic stock set up. but it sure looks good with 2 carbs sitting there.

Are these 4150 or 4160 carbs? Big difference in this case. The other things would be what'd the plugs look like? IS this a tunnel ram deal or just a dual quad lo pro intake? IF they are 4160 Vac secondary, I would be looking for a vacuum leak causing the RPM drop and primary/secondary jetting from reading the plugs. Sounds like a hot enough cam, if the valve springs are up to snuff and not allowing "float", makes no sense to lose RPM. IF 4150 Mechanical Double pumpers, well, then can easily be stovepiping the engine. In other words, WAY too much CFM.

The only other thing I'm going to toss out there is WHY a high volume oil pump, in general, and ESPECIALLY on an Olds with only a 6 qt pan?

Ray,

I think is udderly ridiculous that you sold the Moo.

How in the hell are you going to sneak up on unsuspecting cows now?.....

Just like a calf, never thinking things through, I guess there is no reason to cry over spilled milk... :sly:

And yes, I better be able to see this boat at some point at a future Socal round up...


Damn that's funny.... ;D Gonna miss that boat and I've never seen it up close and personal....Thanks for the mammaries Ray :thumbup: :thumbup:

GT

Well, they PROMISED Glenn.......... and the promised to keep the name, and hope to build another real hot rod engine for it someday.......Maybe I shoulda got all that in writing........... 8)

Thanks Ray!! Feel a little like we just robbed you, but I'm surprisingly OK with that !!!

You did! Bring Moo back......right now.....!!   :-X

No, just kidding......  :D   Was a very fair deal, and I'm just tickled pink its going to someone who appreciates it and is going to use it! You mirror and parallel the reason I bought it to begin with. :thumbup: But you guys have to keep everyone poseted with pics of its new adventures, and get with us at one of these nutty gatherings with it!.

Good meeting you and Don!  :thumbup:  Keep in touch and enjoy her

Ray

As she left........

I think that MSD adaptor  that Glenn posted is probably the only way to do it with yours.  :thumbup:

Most run a Mag that has a mechanical drive, or off the VDrive unit, or some odd auxiliary one like the one I have, as TDawg mentioned.

Random Boat Parts For Sale / Re: Chrome O/T pipes F/S! Nice!!!!
« on: July 15, 2011, 11:52:34 PM »
I ran mine once without the mufflers  and it didn't sound bad just didn't like the whole reversion issue i had with the water dumps in the tailpipes.it killed my motor comming into the no wake zone. I personally like my ot pipes with the mufflers it sounds tough, but subtle at the same time

I've never tried the ones on Pickle without baffles. These do not have them.

My experience with headers with and without normal baffles the difference was negligeable. Now with supertrapps, or those other disc style, might be a substantial difference.

Wonder if these would work with the Nicson logs on my bbc. How do these sound compared to full blown headers?

Those ARE BBC logs, yes they will work, but check to see if yours are different lengths.
