Most of the time when I got into trouble for my mouth, I would get to go to USMCRDSD during Hell Week and push new recruits.

 

[Old77]

What does the "RDSD" stand for in that acronym you just posted?

 

[RetroC10Sport]

Recruit Depot San Diego?

Well it sure wan't San Francisco.


And to get back on topic, welcoming this young Marine to be, I wanted to make note that we recently had a discussion about those Edelbrock Pro Flow air cleaners. We came to the conclusion they are an extreme fire hazard, and I'd agree. You oughta consider a differant type air cleaner system. I know you can get those on eBay for cheap, and I beleive that is why they are cheap. It stands to reason. The one I have that thrown in on a intake and carb sale, also needs a new foam becuase it caught fire. I'm trashing it. Not even gonna give it to someone. Scrap metal.

Yep, as one member put it, one good sneeze form the Eddy carb, and its on fire. Or even 1 good carb backfire or a good flooding and a pop, it'll be smookin'. Not the kind of shookin' we want. They look cool, but just a hazard. We don't want any squarebodies burning down. I have a buddy with a Dodge, I think I'll give mine to him.

hahaha and my dad has a big rouund one i can use, cause i def dont want to lose another truck.

 

[HotRodPC]

Uh OH?? you lost a truck before??

 

[silence86]
