A Pittsburgh Christmas Carol:
Yinz better wahtch aht
Yinz better not paht
Yinz better not cry,
I’m tellin yinz hauscome
Santa Clause is commin’ dahntahn
He’s makin’ a list
He’s checkin’ it aht
He’s gowen find aht who’s nebby an at
Santa Clause is commin’ dahntahn
He knows if yinzes a jaggoff
He can see inside your haus
He knows if you’ve been workin’ hard
Or sittin’ on your caach
Yinz better wahtch aht
Yinz better not paht
Yinz better not cry,
I’m tellin yinz hauscome
Santa Clause is commin’
dahntahn.....
What is frightening is that this
is perfectly understood by those of us
that have grown to love the Burgh.
Merry Christmas
nothing right in Richmond, but there's wheeling farther out west of here..Shoe Creek, Oak Ridge, Crozet, etc. Jerry and I might be doing a small run next weekend or the one after, let's try to put something together :thumbsup:
I'm currently up in PA for the holiday, leaving back for VA tomorrow morning. Might get it on tomorrow afternoon depending on when we get home. If not, I'll do it on Thursday, and post up the results.

yeah, different part numbers +/- 1996 per the parts place. I'll pick up the different one in the morning. Just spent the last 2 hours leafblowing....time for din-din and some brew...
Thanky!
Jeff
270, and I495 (inner and outer loop) around DC is a disaster, no two ways around it. I avoid them at all costs....sorry you found out the hard way.
If you ever have to travel that way again, hit me backchannel...there's a couple alternatives depending on where you're going.
Merry Christmas!

I got the brand new *cough* 'spensive FelPro gasket when I did the rebuild. Not sure on the part #, but it is the molded blue rubber one with the metal reinforcements around the bolt holes...
edit: this one...

Don (or anyone), is there any reason a later model VC wouldn’t work on the Renix head? I picked up this one at the ‘yard today off a ’97….it’s practically brand new. I’m gonna try to fit it up tomorrow and see what happens. If it doesn’t work, I’m only out $3 :D

Notice, there are no towers inside…..there’s a baffle that runs across the top. That oughta stop any oil from getting sucked out (I hope, anyway….)

either spacers or two different sets of aftermarket wheels with different offsets....I hate the width difference myself as well. Stoopid, I say....

I had two weldnuts that were stripped on mine. I ended up drilling straight thru the other side of the framerail and adding a longer bolt with a fender washer and nut on the other side. Had to use a right angle drill because the rear quaterpanels are too close to use a regular drill.
Jeff
I won't say that my gauge is anywhere near accurate, but at least it gives me a general idea of how much is in the tank :yes: Mine's not a DD anymore, and I pretty much drive it by the odometer (fill it around 125-150 miles or so).
Jeff
That's what I'm doing....I'm running an HO pump assembly from a longbed in my Renix. Just gotta remember that "empty" = full tank, and visa versa ;)
Jeff
Thanks Pat.
As usual, I'll bring the beer, and I still have that box of rods for you from when we did the perches.
My wife just bought me a set of DB's for Christmas....but she doesn't know it yet :banana: $156 and change with shipping.
