Nice detective work Robert! That thing has to be worth a couple hundred bucks easy.

But I'll be keeping it, it'll add a nice touch to the silver 83 LE.

Thanks for the link!

I have one that has all apex seals in place and turns over. I bought it in a lot of parts. The mileage is unknown, but I would guess 75k. I would sell it for 350.00

This sounds ominous Greg, what happened?

I have lots of 12As but they are all in boxes and need to be built, so nothing running.

Except the Train Wreck 12A of course, but that's going into the 83 LE.

But it sounds like Martin has a good candidate, if it runs you can't beat the price.

Of course you could always get together with Mike and Robert and build yourself a ported 13B.

I do believe that 12A that Sam ported was built using rotor housings recovered from the two 12A's that came out of my 84 tan and 85 brown GSLs several years ago.

The ones that Stu cut his hand on when we were loading them into the trunk of his mom's Mazda Protege:

I'm old (not Ray old ) so I don't remember. You should hog out a nikki and use it
instead. I bet a hogged out nikki can drive that BP really well.

Wheres the count and pics from OGTA yesterday?

On January 3, 2017?

Might be too cold for film.

But if the recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania show Trump was cheating after all, I'll be there.

I'll bring my new brown leather S1 steering wheel, one of only two in existence.

Ray just accept that the best MAN won. Its a wonderful system, that electoral college, keeps the dumb masses from choosing just any woMAN.

How do you spell misogynist? No underline, I guess I got it right.

Anyway, did you guys notice how Deal's Gap burnt to the ground right after you fools voted for the Trumpster?

That was a warning from the Rotary Gods.

And if the Trumpleton actually does take office in January expect your Wankels to permanently seize.

Hillary will start to look good, even to misogynists.

Especially after inflation, unemployment and the Great Recession II set in next year.

(Great Recessions being the inevitable outcome of Republican administrations).

Me, I'm hoping that truth and justice will prevail with a legal vote count in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

This will show that the system truly is rigged and that the Trump Right rigged it.

Either that or a well-directed bolt from the Rotary Gods.

This is all politics Ray, where does truth and/or justice fit in?

Ray the burning has stopped, let the healing begin.

About those wildfires ... I think the rains have helped there as well.

Give Trump a Chance.

Yeah, right. That's what they said about Hitler.

Hardee's CEO for Labor Secretary.

Give me a oo==>&@#() break!

This ain't politics dude. This is War.

And the Rotary Gods are on our side.

Nothing happened Ray.
My engine runs fine, but it does have some miles on it. I has been half-as-ed looking for a good used 12A for some time.
I didn't know what the status of your engine world was. Seeing your LE got me thinking you may have 3 or 4 stacked up in the parts shed by now.

It has everything attached to it. Intake manifold, air pump etc. I even have a thermal reactor that looks good with it. I believe it came from an 80.

Dang Greg, you got yourself one of those 15 Rotors, nice work! I'll be joining the club next July.

That 12A in your gray GS sure has been good to you, isn't it original with 200,000+ miles?

Certainly if I had a few extra 12A's stacked up you'd be welcome to one, that gray car is a worthy cause.

But as it is they're all in boxes except for the Train Wreck and the seized unit in the LE, which need to be torn down.

I'm looking forward to that, nothing more fun than popping a 12A keg to see what you got.
