Midget,

Of course, the answer was “no”.

Well, if it was easy, everybody would be doiing it. . . . .

That was the answer when I asked the folks at the dyno shop if they had an air flow meter that would work on a Weber DCOE.  I thought it gracious that they were able to control their laughter.  SO . . . I’m giving a shot at making one that can be attached to their 5” air meter . . .



It’s air tight when taped, ugly and hopefully functional.  We’ll need to support it from above, which should work as they have a hoist apparatus from which I can hang cables/bungees/kite string to.



This is information I’d really like to get, because it will make tuning for Bonneville a much more exact science than just switching out jets and hoping for the best.

Me likey, looks good. . . . .    and this type of info is important, for a variety of reasons. . . . . . .

Picked up the ½” plate to build the drive plate from – it’s on its way to the land of taupe subdivisions, just south of the cheddar curtain.  Actually, Fordboy’s house isn’t taupe, it’s blue, and stands in rigid defiance of the status quo which defines most of Lake County.

Mrs. Fordboy wishes to inform you that the actual color name is: "Stonehenge", which she describes as: "Medium grey (note "Brittish" spelling) with only a 'hint' of blue."   Methinks melovely does not wish to embrace the issue of 'non-conformity' within the context of the subdivision.   Can't be too careful about those paint colour police!!

Picked up the ½” plate to build the drive plate from, – it’s on its way SOUTH. . . .

Also picked up the longer flywheel bolts to attach the drive adapter and bought a throttle cable.

Of course, I couldn’t simply check things off of the list – added were –
Secure vibration dampener
Pick up 2 oil filters
Set up ignition box for out-of-body experience . . .

I'm pretty certain this list will get longer before it gets shorter.

Not necessarily.   Much has been accomplished.   Amended list attached as a pdf.

"Wait a minute Mr. Postman." 

Picked up the ½” plate to build the drive plate from – it’s on its way to the land of taupe subdivisions, just south of the cheddar curtain.

Oh yes, wait a minute Mister Postman
(Wait)
Wait Mister Postman


Please Mister Postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a drive plate in your bag for me
(Please, Please Mister Postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time
(Oh yeah)

Et cetera, et cetera. . . . .

Mrs. Postman came through for you (and the apparently unreliable Mr. Postman. . . .) today at 15:11 central daylight savings time.   We now bring you suds time.

Ah, FINALLY!  GOTCHA 

I'm pretty sure I've had this discussion here on the Forum in the past, but I'll give it a go anyhoo:

Fordboy said:   "...central daylight savings time..."

No, No, sez Slim the comma cop, there should be NO "s" at the end of "saving".  After all, the concept is "saving time" -- a verb, not a noun that can be made plural.

Okay, let the hassles begin.

Whoa . . . Slim just swooped in like he's riding a 258 mph wind gust across the snow packed U.P.

Don't feel bad, Fordboy.  He once corrected me on the pronunciation of "culinary". 

Karen Carpenter for me - solid drummer, a voice on a par with k.d.lang or Mary Ford, AND she drove a 1962 Chrysler 300 H convertible.

Trifecta, baby!

Sheesh. . . . .

First the paint colour police, and now the comma cop!!!         All in the same day!!   

What does a heretic need to do to escape the inquisition??   

Say, uhmm, Slim, aren't there some other, more basic, grammar errors on this board that you can spend your time on?

Regarding culinary, Websters has it both ways.  I also agree with you about Miss Carpenter. Wayno

This smells like a scam to me.
How can you "save time" by jostling hours around.

Oh, does "hassles" really need a "s" on the end?

Soon to be banned, Don

Oh, the stuff I could say about the past few comments, but I've gotta go inventory the toilet paper dispensary and maybe also count the nubs remaining on the tires of the Bobcat (skid steer).

SSSlim,

I suppose you might have a point. . . . . . . . . .    



on the other hand. . . . . . . . .      

If you are going to try to pass yourself off as, "the Comma Cop", (under the auspices of the "Grammar Police", no doubt. . . ), you may wish to reconsider the use of slang words like:

      "anyhoo"   &   "sez"      

Oh, the stuff I could say about the past few comments, but I've gotta go inventory the toilet paper dispensary and maybe also count the nubs remaining on the tires of the Bobcat (skid steer).

Well, at least the rest of us can not argue that your time is well spent. . . . . . . . .

YOU spent some TIME in the midwest, I betcha, eh. 

Oh, it is to laugh. Grew up in SoCal. It snowed here (1/2") a couple of weeks ago. First time I saw it snow in 22 years. And I had to go up in the mountains with the Boy Scouts to see that.

83 degrees here today. 

There, their, they're
It will be OK

That's hysterical!
