Hey man, I dont think Ive seen you on here in a while. I was wondering about buying that oil temperature/oil pressure block from you on your website. I was wondering how long it might take to get one to me if I decide I want one?

The REPU got a Chilton's shop manual, big K&N air filter for the dellorto, a REPU t-shirt with the original 74 REPU ad on it.

I already have a 2 3/4 ton Big Red floorjack.

Oh, and a brand new ceramic sealed Pineapple 12a J-Bridgeport should be delivered any day now for the 81 racecar. Once it's dynoed I'll post it.

I got a roll away and a top box. They're the Craftsman ball bearing style so that means I can load the drawers with lots of heavy tools and they'll still open and close easily.

I got 2 rotary engine models. One of them is a visible 1/5th scale that you can see inside and watch the rotors turn. It is motorized. When you pull the stick shift on the tranny the motor spins and the spark plugs light up as the rotors go by. I've seen it on e-Bay before. The other model I got is a true rare collectors item. It is the very first rotary engine model ever produced. It dates back to the late '60's. It is a 1/3rd scale, peripheral port, single spark plug per rotor NSU model engine. It came out of an old Model museum in Green Bay, Wisconsin that is closing down. They only had one of them on display. It is still sealed in the wrapping too. I want to open it but it is worth more if I don't. There are 125 parts to the kit. On the box it mentions that Porsche, Audi, GM, Mercedes and others are going to use rotary engines in the near future. That should date it! It also comes with a complete history of the rotary engine. I wonder if its just a pamphlet. I damn near fainted when I got it.

1st7heaven, how are you going to use the vacuum cannister? And I have the sister to your SA. The white/green #7 that won Daytona. Your right , the detail is fantastic for its scale! I want the 77 too. Where did you get the 787? I have a matchbox size one, I want the bigger one.

Oh, BTW no 7 stuff for me this Christmas.

I run my vacuum to the canister and then from the canister to the brakes. With a bridge or peripheral port with the idle, you dont have much of a vacuum. With this tank you have a reserve.
