Also kudos to Jeff Esmel [Shaker 455] for going to bat for me and fixing my carb. He got her done and back to me at warp speed.

... for sure, the engine really liked that carb ...

Bill, Got a question for you. If BLP makes your carbs or you buy the parts from them and Jeff (Shaker455) has to fix your carbs to make them run, where do you fit into the Carb Picture, except that you sold the carb?

... are you out of your mind Tom ?? ... you read that .." Jeff (Shaker455) has to fix your carbs to make them run ".. ??????

... I don't sell Demon carbs, and Mike didn't want to spend too much money on one of mine, so he went with a used Demon, that Shaker455 did some work on, is that clear enough for you Tom ?? ...

... now go screw yourself you piece of chit ...

... I think this quote from John says it best, I think you should read it again, lol ...

This whole post is why you are on the list. This is just a drop in the bucket / lake of posts like this. Where you list accomplishments of others and imply to your involvement soaking up any available internet credibility all the while, after all these years of " helping people find the way" you have never done anything yourself.!!!!!!
No doubt you have a wealth of knowledge to share but it seems that most of it was obtained verbally or from observing from behind the rope, rather than doing.
Because you have never done anything of your own???

There is no doubt that you have left your "DNA" on every coat tail you can get your hands on.

So next time you want to bash someone "doing". Try actually taking a swing at your own project and see how you, yourself stack up. If not your just an internet racer.

You do not have a clue, Bill.

You do not even know what the game is. Don't keep saying stupid stuff when I actually think you are a very talented guy, You are a civilian, Bill, you don't have a clue.

I can pick up the motor friday. Once I get her home, I'll be working on her. I plan I driving the 65 saturday. Rain will be a factor whether I run on a track saturday. The I-40 Dragway has already cancelled their saturday program. Got Buffalo Valley and the Knoxville tracks as possibilities.

Yea Bruce, doesn't look good this week-end. Looks like the best I will be able to do is cruise around town looking for some dry road.

I fired up the 455 in the car today. Still raining looks like the Co-Convention will be the shakedown run.
