Greetings from the frozen north. Is COLD on NJ shore this time of year. Have met David Teitelbaum in person. He does not read DMCFORUM because is not moderated. Says enough. Rob Grady conclusively identified my block. Identical to Volvo B27. ID tag is Renault, but "R30" is a car model designation, not engine model. Would be correct to say "engine that goes into an R30". Is 9.5:1 compression. Source of SO much difficulty for SO long -- I've been screwing around with 89 octane and plugs that are too hot. Dropped in a set of Delco R42's and started burning 93 octane exclusively. Is a whole new experience. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER REDLINED MY CAR! Was so excited I wee wee'd all over the leather seat. Watched re-run of Monster Garage with Rick G, the man himself. People up north are a bit more abrasive -- teased him a god bit. Of course he's a Yankee too so I think comments just slid off. Was in line ahead of Rick's twin engine. Only Prelude block currently running. A bit too much weight for the Japanese. His Cadillac block is high compression 500 something, but gas tank only 5 gallons. He'll be lucky to travel 50 miles between stations. Even the Prelude block needs a fillup at 80 or so. Ken K taped a "Going to Pigeon Forge" plug. Actually it's a "Going to Pigeon going Forge to going Pigeon going going Forge..." plug. Totally disfunctional, even after several takes. Should make fun viewing if he uses. I-95 North sucks. Is the most useless highway on the face of the planet. I can't believe they charge you $10 in tolls to use the stupid thing. At least am halfway home in DC (sorry Rich and Mike, no time to stop by). Thank God for the American South. Confidential to Rich and Mike: are a mother/daughter team in western MD (Susan & Tiffany) who would be amenable to participating DC area events. Or so they say. Long enough post from a man whose DeLo is now smoking but who just spent 5 hours idling the thing in a 3 lane parking lot... Bill Robertson #5939 Yahoo!
