RE: [DMCForum] Did Someone Piss In Marc's Cornflakes?

Bill,

I am hoping this doesn't sound like some of the other posts about fuel
injection.  Before you rip the system off your Ford truck, consider that
this system is one of the most easy to work on.  You can literally see how
it works by merely looking at how it is set up.  It really is a very, very
simple system and I would bet you could figure it out in less time than
swapping everything, and without reading a manual.

(Just found out what happens when your supper gets in the way and you
accidentally press the RETURN key while in the subject field)

I thought you were charming...

As I recall, I didn't say the other Greg was wrong, but rather that he
could kiss my butt (whomever had the chapstick last, please pass it to
the other Greg).

Think I'll have a couple of bullseyes tatooed back there just to speed
the process up.

Re: Fuel injection -- I just bought an F150 with multiported 302.
Seller claimed it was throttle body, which I might almost be able to
live with, but it isn't. Care to speculate how long it will take me to
rustle up a cast iron manifold in the junkyard and carburete that bad boy?

Speaking of junkyards, where I was earlier today, found a '79 Volvo
264 w/ unmolested B27F. $150 if I pull it. If the price drops to $100
I may seriously consider it. Manifold & valve covers alone should
worth that. Wonder if they'd be saleable on eBay painted some gaudy color?
