Look at all the leaves... My little brother (7) and I drive around in the FC, and whenever we see a lot built up on the road, I zip through them and he gets all giddy when they fly up all over the road behind us... lol

On another note, I think I fixed the problem I was having with the new FC. It was acting like it wasn't getting enought spark or it was flooding out randomly, and when you flipped the key off then on it would go away for a while. It did it at idle in the driveway today and I wiggled all kinds of wiring, then found that the problem went away when I messed with the water-thermo sensor. I cleaned that up, hopefully the problem's solved. Also removed the cold-start assist crap and blocked off the un-needed ACV. I would've removed the air pump while I was at it but I don't want to risk having only 1 belt on the water pump.

Have you gotten any more dual-belt alt pulley's in Billy?

It's not always the sensor either. Some people will wiggle on it, notice a difference, and replace the sensor but still have the same problem. The pins get pushed back in the plug.

Does anyone know what these pins are called by their technical name? I need to buy a pack of new ones so I can properly repair the baffoonery someone else did to my headlight wiring...

October OGTA is shaping up to be memorable. Donnie, junping some FCs on a rotary scooter (after being properly lubricated). A possible new member, much easier to look at than Ray and I and driving an SA. And we are still 2 weeks away. Maybe we can get Ray to bring one of the goats down to put on drinking exhibition.

What you got in mind Chad? Which rotary will you be in?



Mike the goats are kind of shy in public and they are pretty selective about who they drink with (me, Cathy and Crit, so far). I don't think they are ready for Twisted Sister's yet and they definitely would be upset being around all those FC's, they've never seen one of those before.

Collin I do believe that object in your photo is technically a probe, surprised you didn't know that!

Ray I think your goats have seen an FC before. IIRC, Collin and Colin came over and parked in their line of sight when you were getting the silver one cleaned out, and I parked in their view when I came up and we rebuilt the carb for my old FB. That's 3 FC's!

I finally got the wheels off of my old FC onto the new one. It's nice to have decent tires that don't chirp when you pull into a parking spot or squeal on the smallest of curves. Now for the shocks and springs... Maybe this weekend.

They also drank a beer or two with me and Collin that same day

Mike do you live off Dean Road?
My wife saw a blue 7 come off Dean to Old Peachtree then south on 85 around 7:30 this morning.
She said the driver was quite the hansome devil, so I knew it had to be you (cough cough).
