Glad to see many of us are getting work or new jobs. I have decided I can no longer function on PPS Biz. I'll continue to do it on a case by case basis, but I have turned away more work than I have accepted the last 3 months. Gas Prices killed me. I only take services that are in my own city now. If I have to drive to N' OKC to do a service and it takes 2 attempts to hit the target, I have now broke even and didn't make any money. If I have to make 3 attempts it cost me money. So I only take what is within 8 miles or so of my house. Because of that, I am trying to find something close to full time during the day M-F. I'm hoping to get hired at a local Powder Coating company. Gonna give it a try anyway.

Polyperformance wants $329 a piece. :(

That's nuckin futs !!! I think I could break a few D44 or 10B Corps and still be ahead of the game. Of course having it break in the middle of the race isn't cool.

it turned out really good... I gave a thanks shout out on the original post about it...

I ended up just using the vacuum gauge method...(didn't have a dwell meter), but got the vacuum to read about 21 on the gauge, and couldn't get any more out of her... started off at 17.. so it really cleaned it up.. (adjusted the timing too)

I started out at three turns out, an it actually took me like 7 turns out to even it out... but it did the trick..

Calidude 7 turns meens you have other issues with that carb. 21 in @ sea level is awsome though,should purr @ idle.Ya really need to use the dwell meter to see where you are at.Glad it worked out for you.

You're talking about lock-in/lock-out hubs, I need the whole hub assembly, that the rotor and lug nuts go on, bearing races, etc. I went ahead and ordered them here...

You can see what I'm talking about. If you don't mind ask him if he carries anything like that and how much, just for reference.
