Sure Al. It's probably the police call listings. And Fong is a farce. He's really an Eskimo.

Sorry Ed, the Japanese have short memories and you are no longer huge there.
You do still have quite a strong fan base at various county fairs in Iowa. But that doesn't really count because as you know, chicken judging is a far bigger deal.

Alcohol had about half the BTU content of gasoline, meaning theoretically you need to burn twice as much alky to equal the power of gasoline. Alky is generally used in racing because of its octane rating, around 110, and because it burns cooler.
Given the need to pass more alky through the engine compared to gasoline, one might assume a more aggressive cam would be necessary to achieve this result. Don't care what cam theory someone subscribes to (lift vs. duration), it's clear you need a reground cam.

I think Ed once told me that to convert inches to millimeters, you divide by potato.

Paul, you may now be in possession of some metrics. Can't remember what's on there now.

Better check the bolt spacing. They also come with a 110mm arrangement.

Probably tastes like chicken. Or do you have to cook them in onions to kill the gamey taste like with venison?

Al, Ed's property is infested with trolls. They hunt when it's below zero.

Sunny and zero in Green Bay this morn. Warm enough for my crazy kid to start tailgating for the 3:40pm Packer game.
Oh to be young again.

Nah, it's really zero in the greater green bay area. Balmy for the time of year.

Oh, that's nice. Take a perfectly good, highly engineered German sports car and make it leak oil and blow a blue haze. Sweet!
