not sure what links you are talking about or why you would want to disable them?  :)

My site has my email contact on it so people can get hold of me if they wish

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

damn, we all know it takes at least $2500 to get into the Nines...if you want to be streetable anyway.  Old age is when you have toys but it is too much trouble to open the garage door, or the closet door, and get them out.  I don't take a car out sometimes because I don't want to have to open the shop and then the gate out of my yard...need to electrify things, I guess

amazing how quickly we hate to have to mess with carburetors and distributors after having fuel injected cars.  Don't know how we ever tolerated them.

The funny part is how many people are the complete reverse of this. My land lord has a 50's Jeep wagon that he want to stuff a small block in and I've been trying to get him to put a 5.3 in it. You can get a 4 barrel intake and spark controler for it around $600, but he doesn't want "all that fancy crap". Better design and makes more power as well as better gas milege. I just don't get it myself. :chin:

the great thing about f.i. is that you get in it, crank it up, and drive off...no big deal in cold weather, hot weather, rain, sleet, or snow...no floats to stick, no advance weights to rust up, and so on

LOL I remember having to show one of the master techs I worked with how to set a carb. :add_wegbrech: He really didn't have a clue on how to do anything other than bolt it on. :O  And he was a "A" tech on top of that. :rolleyes;  Did a lot of fixing from the stuff he didn't have a clue on how to do. :013:
