you have more carburetors on your coffee table than you do running vehicles... that holley i just built for a guy and is going in a '49 ford and the carter is a new acquisition. might bolt it to my engine since my holley is being a pain in the *** right now or i might sell it. damn i love the outside perks of working at a parts store!
Is the towel to protect the table, or to protect the fragile ****erflies and linkages from the hard table top? My wife enjoys telling everybody about the time I cleaned some valve covers and an oil pan in the dishwasher. It got them pretty clean, but it left a nice old engine smell in the dishwasher that took about 6 months to fade away.
The wives don't like it much when you use their ovens to heat parts to be ***embled with an interference fit either.
Holleys are great! I just screwed one together for my truck with leftover parts from other rebuilds, and parts carbs people have given me.
sad part is here's where i'm at since i took that first pic... and that's really not even a coffee table...it's one of my toolboxes that didn't fit in the spare bedroom/tools and junk room. the towel is to protect the carb and make the tiny parts easier to see
....you refer to the local salvage yard as the 'Man Mall' ....you wake up at 3:am in a cold sweat wondering if you refilled the pumpkin .....the sight of an old car in a field causes instant brake lock-up .....you seem to be smiling way too much
I have three 97's, an intake and a grill shell on my dining room table right now. My wife is not happy about it.
If you dont know where anything is in your house (besides your parts) yet can lay a hand on ANY tool or part in the landfill you call a garage.
