down and hacked it out by trial and error in a short time.

Configgin' computers is a bear nowadays, isn't it?


Life has been good, and Craigslist is alive and well, managing to pull
off some very nice home runs, thank you very much.

Huh?


Yesterday, I picked up a complete Chevy 283, additional Quadrajet intake
manifold, extra set of newly reworked power pack heads, starter, a
humongous four speed granny truck tranny and bell housing (GM), a 289
crank in need of welding and recutting a journal (or adding a shackel
for a boat anchor, an Edelbrock "twisted" 289 Torker intake manifold,
Edelbrock valve cover gaskets, a set of 289 heads, some Mustang body
emblems, an MG Midget head, new pressure plate and disc, windshield
wiper motor and cable drives assembly, A Zenith carb assembly on intake
manifold with air box, and a bunch of other asst. MG parts, for $300.

Cool.


Missed youse guys, particularly when I had a question. Hope this works,
and finds everyone in good health.

Welcome back, Steve.


PS. Going to Vegas Wed. for a CT scan on a 5 cm heart aneurysm. Maybe
have another open heart operation. We'll see. I wonder if I could ask
them to go horizontal this time ...........

Going for the Steampunk look, eh? Have them add rivet-look stitches,
too, while you're there.
