Some of today's players still do that, but it's probably not that they care. It's either written into their contract to do that type of work, or it's for publicity. Hey, I'm with you, but it's not the players fault 100%. Management has had their part of screwing up major league baseball too. And it's not only baseball, but all pro sports "businesses". I wish it could be like it was in the old days, but sadly it never will be again.

Hell yeah Eagle, I hear you, and I remember all that. :D But I still love the game, especially the American league. There are still some old school players left who have 10+ years with their teams, but it's rare now; most are salary chasers now because they are put on the trading block by the management. Here's a few examples: Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio - Houston Astros John Smoltz, Chipper Jones and Andruw Jones - Atlanta Braves Barry Bonds - San Francisco Giants :nuts: Tim Wakefield - Boston Red Sox Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, Derek Jeter, and Bernie Williams - New York Yankees The salary cap effectively killed the player loyalty and the owners have to do what they had to do just to stay afloat. The constant trading does makes the competition better and more balanced, but I prefer the old school baseball as you do, but it's gone the way of the dinosaur. Unfortunately. :(

Dealer only item (p/n 33002871) for about $60-$70. Ouch. Junkyard is your best bet if you can get it off w/o destroying it.

Nope, not even going there. Just ridiculous that some kid is freaked about his locker door, had to post it up, and here we are discussing it.

What an amusing ridiculous thread. Sad to see what happening here.

If something as trivial as this freaks you out, you have lots of problems ahead. The rules only get worse as you get older mate.

My apologies - didn't notice you had a 4.5 stroker. :D I'm using the 96-99 Mopar 23.2lb/hr grey tops, p/n 53030778, and running them at 46psi. These provided the best numbers on the Hesco dyno for my particular setup w. the cam, exhaust/intake mods and Unichip I have. If you frequent the stroker forum or the Hesco forum, there are long discussions regarding optimum stroker injector sizing. Most, but not all, if using the Ford 24# injectors, end up running them at a lower pressure than the stock regulator lets them. You might get by using them on your setup, but only a dyno run (not the olde butt dyno) will let you optimize it. HTH.........

Yes, it's in the FSM. And if you do get new injectors, don't use the Ford 24#, they are way too much for a non-aspirated stock engine. It will run like crap and waste fuel. Use the stock 19#-ers. You will be happier. :cheers:

Good fuel pump? Maybe yes, maybe no. You should do a flow rate test also - you can have good pressure with poor flow especially as long as it's been setting. Poor flow could be why the engine is cutting off, or gummed up injectors. It should not be cutting off because the O2 sensor and temp sensor are not hooked up. I think you still have a fuel flow problem. Check this out: http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/Fuel_System/Fuel_Diagnostics.htm

7" WIDE rim, not 7" tall. Jeesh..............

Yes. LWB = 119.4" (7" WHEELS) SWB = 112.9" (7" WHEELS)

No worries mate. That's still a fine looking rig. :cheers:

Looks like standard 4-leaf springs too..........

I doubt if he can even spell IOU Jim. :D

His name is Billy Bob. His junk is priceless. I bet this clown is down south Pete. Common problem here...............

On an HO, the O2 and temp sensors disconnected will not affect starting; it'll just stay in open loop but should start. I think the stale fuel is the problem and may have clogged/gummed up your fuel lines, since your pump sounds like it's working out of the vehicle (ASSume you are pumping from a bucket of clean fuel into another container). Blow compressed air into the fuel supply line from the fuel tank w. the fuel filter removed until cleared, then do the same from the filter to the fuel rail w. the supply line disconnected. Then do the same with the return side as they will vapor lock w/o a clear return to the fuel tank.

Sorry mate, but you sound like an immature little girl. :D Grow up, suck it up, and go on. Don't air your personal feelings on a public forum and blast someone for telling you the facts of life. Not picking on you as there are plenty of other members doing the same thing here. :thumbsup:

Agree with that. I was cruising around town today on my bike and spotted an MJ Laredo sitting up on blocks in the low rent district. Naturally I slid in and an old gent came out. After about an hour of yakking I found out the guy was the original owner who ordered the 88 Laredo from the local dealer w. no additional options except the D44 rear and 4.09 gears as he did some towing back in the day. He also had some nice (all unfinished) J trucks that I suspect will never get finished. Point is, you could order any MJ w. any options and AMC/Mopar would build it.

Also, where are you located??

Dayem, not yet Lenard - still freezing temps. Tomorrow it might go up to 50 though - might give it a shot. :cheers:

This has been a cold winter for here Jeff, and I always keep the bird feeders going all winter. The cardinals and redbirds usually stick around, even saw early bluebirds arriving last week checking out the gourd houses they annually nest in. These were originally planned for purple martins, but the bluebirds always run them off. The Canadian geese never leave the lake out back, and keep up their racket all winter, accompanied by the mallards. The hummingbirds and gold finches will be here next month to continue their turf wars. Good stuff setting on the back deck sucking Miller HL and watching the birds. :cheers:

I usually take the bike except when I make a beer run. :cheers: Put a new windshield on it last month and it's not too bad.

Hey - I'm used to it coming from the frozen north too. :D But it's these local fools driving around in it crashing into each other that scares me. It's like bumper cars...............

Welcome aboard swoop. You'll fit in just fine here mate. :cheers:
