Had a similar experience with rock auto. Ordered a throttle body for a taurus sho. Didn't get around to replacing it for a month or 2. It was clearly the wrong one once I opened it. May have fit a regular taurus but not the sho. They wouldn't even talk to me without an order number which I could not find. I don't order as much from them as I used to. Tho they did make a later order right on some brake parts I ordered and never received all of it. Had no complaints about that time.

I'm to the point I'm pretty much disgusted with all the manufactures any more.

Happy Birthday 🎂

Good ol Jerry

Our friend Mike is indeed a very interesting fellow! And on occasion a skilled wordsmith. 🙂

Because that would keep them in service longer and all of them want to sell new machines. But I agree it would be nice.

I'm getting to that aptitude level as well Mike!

That is true. Just need to do your research no matter which side of the border!

Coworker claims to know of a couple of instances where the south of the border thing didn't turn out so well. So carefully chosing the establishment you go to is probably a good idea.

I can see avatars again now, but couldn't forna day or so. Still no pics tho.

Is there anything wrong with the gas engine it it?

Seems like the last day or 2 I have not been able to see any pictures loaded in that time period.

I've thought for some time we are already basically at that point or very near it.

As long as your happy it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, but ya I think you did ok!

Your thinking does have some merrit. The older generation didn't buy any bigger a tractor than was needed because of cost of the machine and cost to run it. But there are also some circumstances others have listed to make the case for a bigger tractor in those instances. And also you use what you have or like to run the most. 🤷‍♂️

He's not in New York or on the east coast. Not a terrible deal. But I would want good glass and ac that was at least there if not in working or easily restored to working order, at that price personally. Again my market is not the east coast. And I may be expecting too much. But if seen some 86 and 66 series in the last year for that, more or less. But they did not have new tires either. I've also seen them for more than that.

I dont have one either. Someday when I win the lottery!

That and something like a 4440 or 66 or 86 might have ac to keep the driver more comfortable.

Yes it was! Had to go to Des Moines Sunday and the car said 102 at one point on the road. I suppose heat off the pavement? They were saying one day the heat index was 103 and the next was going to be 112? Too hot!

Too much, way too much. I'm sure if I dig around I would find stuff I 1. Forgot I had or 2. Forgot where it even came from.. found some stuff like that going thru the garage last winter... Edit Stuff I remember without looking. Fe C6 from a dent side truck with transfer case adaptor, misc 302 and fe heads and manifolds, 3 or 4 toplaoders in various conditions. Several 9 inch center sections, most with tore up spider gear shafts but somewhat desirable ratios. Various body parts for 67/68 mustangs. Several 9 inch housings and shafts. Various driveshafts, 5 or more 2 bl carbs a few holley carbs

I'm glad to read you are doing well! Your right there have been a lot of medical advancements. Ty for sharing and I hope you continue to do well.

Needs to go to ported vacuum, not full manifold vacuum. You don't want the advance kicking full in at idle. Ported vacuum gets stronger as you increase engine speed, to a point anyway. I'd run a line to port in the your picture marked tuned spark vacuum

Sadly far too many will never get this concept.
