IHADAV8 Playground / not much action around here
« on: October 16 2018, 12:52:23 PM »
need  that ford lady to make more allegations,
or maybe  killary  to off another  snitch,


on another note,
I picked up a 72 skylark, 430/ 2004r
making a GSX clone,
 just finished  front  end/susp, all tubular A arms, disc brakes, pwr brks.


sent the interior out  to be magically transformed into  something nice,


looking at wheels,
thinking 18 in ridlers,  5 spoke,


oh, just found out I'm 1/1000  indian, so where do I sign up for  "indian casino" money?

IHADAV8 Playground / you guys in the north east......
« on: January 08 2018, 12:49:30 PM »
are some tough  sumbitches!
the weather or what ever you call it, is not even in my vocabulary.

nowhere  does it say 'negative" degrees,  according to normal people.

seriously, no idea how you cope with  those miserable temps, and  all that white
shit  all over the ground,
hope your all safe and warm (kinda)

oh, it was 72 here yesterday, but only 55 today as rain is forecast.

IHADAV8 Playground / car show fee's
« on: December 30 2017, 11:51:51 AM »
anyone else  see the rise in  entry fee's for  car shows?
here in Az $50 is the going rate, for  1 day show entry,
if its a 2 day event,  the cost  increases,

in speaking with some of my (cheapskate) buddy's, we have chosen to  not  pay.
 or participate  ,
sad, as alot of these events are fund raisers,  for good causes, but I question
if all the funds are going to  the charity?

there is a large buick event  in So Kalif, that for years, the organizer claimed  it didn't  make
any money, yet  he went gambling at a casino diirectly afterwards,  ( with event $$????)
current mgr if that event charges NOTHING, and still has excess $$ from 50-50, raffle, etc.
and attendance has doubled/ tripled .
go figure!

Car Stereo and Electronics / antenna connection
« on: August 21 2017, 12:16:40 AM »
I replaced the old  non working antenna,  with a std, fixed mast , with std  coaxial  connector,
obviously it does not  connect to  existing  antenna   wire.
so my question is,  just purchase an extention  antenna wire? from new antenna wire to radio?
  orig radio still in the car, and speakers too! ( hey they work)

General Buick Tech / confused!
« on: March 21 2017, 04:06:19 PM »
so I built and installed new engine in my 87 T,,   basic 3.8, 30 over, forged pistons,  oil pump blue print, TA  grooved cam bearings, comp 206 roller, T/A lifters, and pushrods,  pac springs (same specs as comp cams spec'd)  shim head gaskets,
( GM orig ) ARP head bolts,
and......... started with stock rockers,, broke a shaft, up graded to HD rocker shafts, put a push rod thru a rocker.
alot of valve train noise!
installed T&D roller rockers, WOW is this thing noisy!, 
I thought  possibly  coil bind,  retainer bottoming out,  valve hitting piston, so off came the heads, and  installed  lighter springs.
and checked every thing, no valve contact, no coil bind, no retainer hitting, .
so I installed them, and same noise.
I adjusted  the valves again, 
is it possible  the lifters collapsed?  or  not pumped up? as I found I could  push  the rocker down by hand, (on some)
top end is getting plenty of oil,
I'm ready to walk away  for a while,
