Hey, no political attacks

 

[Stealth57]

Does anyone have the Probucker 760 sizes?

I talked to Seymour Duncan and their "original" Tbird pickups are 3.36" x 1.575" x 0.50". Just want to make sure that a VP can take it without too much hassle.

DUDE! I sold my 94 sedan last year!

I had one years ago, those things move for a big car, my wagon does.

I added a catch can and breather to my Stealth TT. Also disconnected the EGR value. Definitely wouldn't pass the visual inspection here in CA.

However, this Aussie has me about talked out of adding the catch can.

He's very entertaining. "facts do not care how you feel about them"

can they? without major damage or discoloration or whatever? looks like they’ve been there for a long time..

This is a 455 with a muncie M21 and 3.73 gears. I couldn't get 26mpg if I dropped it out of a plane.

I made some decisions at 21 that 43yr-old me somewhat regrets.

beauty….HO?, SD?…

Yes, they can be removed w/o removing the finish - but there will be a ghost where it was. I'll take that any day over offensive stickers.

this had an old piece of tape -

Do you get this one?

NA vs Turbo

Yes, but wonder if his basic reasoning doesn't apply.

It's a different way of the wording I'm aware of: "Facts don't care about your feelings." Always wanted a t-shirt with that on it. Too many people think with them as well.

I've always heard of using mayonnaise for removing stickers on bumpers, but I've never tried it. Wouldn't think they would be anything in it they would harm the finish of an instrument. Just a thought, and likely a bad one.

A hair dryer works best - you heat the sticker at one side/edge and use a plastic putty-knife to slowly separate it from the finish. Do this over the whole sticker - do not try to pull it all off after getting a finger-grip - you can risk pulling the finish off. Any glue residue can be removed with paint thinner or rubber-cement remover.

Yep. It's been the coolest thing I've owned for the last 22 years. At this point, I'm almost afraid to do anything with it. It's gone well beyond the 3k I paid for it.

I paid $1000 for a rusty Chevy back in 1980. I have spent a whole lot more than that on it. It's now yellow and will be getting hauled off for a new drivetrain and some suspension work. It's a 1968 Camaro, so it might be worth however much I have dumped into it over the years. I have broken a couple transmissions, broken one rear end, and blown up two motors. It's the life of a Camaro. They aren't meant to die of old age.

Krystal in the south. I remember when the sixpack was a buck. I ate there on occasion just because it was a decent amount of fuel for the price. But that was after I was down to working in a print shop, mostly at a desk, but occasionally throwing around 100+ pound bags of mail. When I was working in a factory (no A/C and most fans broken), we'd go to McDonalds at noon and I'd have two Big macs, a large fries, a large shake, and a soda. By the time I got home at 5 I was starving again. A Krystal sixpack wouldn't have made a dent in my hunger then.

Six White Castles mostly just got me home. I ate everything that wasn't nailed down when I was a kid. Beats me how my parents paid for the groceries. The volume makes me feel a little sick just thinking about it now, but at the time, it just disappeared and nothing much happened.
