From my experience last year when my FT cam wiped out it took out the damper from our theory. It seems illogical that the damper separation would have washed out the cam lobe. As HK asked, we need to imagine you replaced it and reset your timing. Here’s a pic of what it looked like when it...

Thanks HK. Interesting data, and I would have guessed the factory ragtops would be lighter without knowing all the undercarriage supports/torque box differences to stiffen them up without the hardtop before aftermarket SF connectors were added. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Have we really dissipated all of the energy still stored in our members capacity without having a last chance to continue to probe into this?

It seems like every time Midlife gets on here to make a connection, the sparks start to fly!

Welcome from WI. Thats a great story and it looks like you’re well on your way to keeping his legacy running strong!

I put a rack of BB’s and some country styles on the Traeger and had a 3/2/1 window to drive around Lake Geneva to sidewalk shop and avoid all the IL drivers driving lost and stopped into a nice little pop shop to meet some more of our kind of peeps.

IMO, the only way to do it correctly is to stitch/tack weld them in with the sprung weight on all four corners. Pre-fit/mock them up on the lift, but final welding should be done with SW as I mentioned earlier IMO

“Look at me!” Yup, look at you. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Its brand new from when my previous FT cam washed out.

Those are what I use and don’t “schedule” driving in the rain as well. I do however apply rain-ex once a month for the “just in case” here in SE WI so the trick is to drive just fast enough for beading while the TA’s stay planted firmly. The top goes up if speed can’t be maintained safely...

I would appreciate that!

Well guys and girls, I decided against EFI and put on a new Holley SA 670 Ultra spec’d for the Clev and at first we thought we had it made at start up, responsive at throttle crack, sounded crisper, went thru all timing, adjustments, no vacuum leaks, but once it got up to op temp, the hesitation...

Paint peeler.

I don’t know that plate’s origin but a WAG may be that the owner is a “dreamer” dreaming the 🇺🇸 dream located somewhere south of 🇺🇸 🤷🏻‍♂️

I love seeing these stacked beautiful headlighters still roaming the streets and looking prettier than the 65-7 goats IMO.
