Randy you are a GURU so much to teach, so much that we can learn. You have no issues sharing knowledge that is rare now days. That is also the way so many have learned so much,if no one passes on knowledge it gets lost! That makes you a very special kind of person, one of many more that are needed. If everyone keeps everything to themselves, and passes on none of it eventually it gets lost. At that point it gets re learned , or totally forgotten.

I've had him since October of '76.

I have a later spread bore intake on it mostly because I hate Holly carbs.

Quickest way to burn one down because of leaky float bowel gaskets.

You use to mess with rc nitro engines?
Ohh because of the outlet pipe, I wondered why you asked.
Outlet pipes are supposed to be 12 times their diameter in lenght and it is hard to cram that in a saw, so the alternative is poke it out the side to keep the back pressure.
Just what I read anyway.

I'm no guru.......not even close.

Just an old fart that tinkers in a little shed in the back yard. I share because I don't think anything I do is special at all.

Thanks for the kind words, but the real gurus are guys like Cliff Helsel, Dennis Cahoon, Scott Kunz, etc.
Yes you are you share your knowledge, and encourage new people to try! You had mentors p.s now you are that mentor, you are a one of a kind now! You are passing on the torch as your mentors have, more need to share the knowledge learned! If it is not passed on it will be lost, that would be sad indeed. If all the knowele
