Folks Of Interest Lost another good one today GMC BUBBA :-(

My condolences to his family and friends.

 

Ah, shit! Jim did a few distributors for me through the years and they all worked as advertised. so sorry to hear this.

 

That’s sad news!
I have one of his converted SBC distributors set back for some future flathead.
Rest in Peace, Jim!

 

R.I.P. Jim "GMC Bubba"

He will definitely be missed! We had several conversations over the years. His comments to me in a P.M. about someone in my industry whom he despised were classic & a quote I will never forget....He was like that

God Bless
Bill

RIP

 

Jim taught hundreds of young kids over the years at Lincoln Tech. No telling how many more he influenced in traditional hotrodding. I met him years ago through my father in law who had the Mr. Bill's food service at the same school. Jim was a "one off" for sure.

 

Sad news indeed. I have one of his dizzy's on my 34 coupe, ran perfect ever since it was put on. He will be missed by many. RIP Bubba

 

Sincere sympathy goes out to his friends, and especially Family

 

Man, Hate to hear this. He helped me with a dual point Mallory a few years ago. He knew his stuff and was a get advocate for the hobby. God Speed!!

 

This looks like the kind of guy you would want in your corner, condolences.

 

Just terrible news. He helped me with a Grant Spaulding Flamethrower....a real stand up guy. Rest easy.

 

Sad News …

I first met Jim
in 2009 when he recommended
me to transport
“ Simple T “ from his shop
on Gasoline Alley in
Indianapolis …

I hauled Simple T to an FBI agent
in California that Jim sold it to …



Jim always wanted to get
Simple T back ….

Followed him on FB - lately he
was enjoying not so healthy food
so I have a feeling he knew time
was limited …

A Good Guy ….

Jim

 

Not a good Monday.
I only worked with Jim one time via the FordBarn years back for a conversion on my buddies Stude.
When I was searching for information on the FB on setting up my 221 distributor, his posts were golden.
RIP Jim.

 

Damn...Rest easy Jim.

 

Very sad news. Jim was a good man.

 

Godspeed Jim! My condolences to his family and friends.

 

R.I.P. Jim, I only knew him here, never meet him in person. I enjoyed his posts over the years, thanks Bubba. Condolences to his family and all his friends

 

So sad to hear about his passing. He was very generous with his knowledge and showed interest in an off topic project that I was working on. He was key in helping me make the project work.
He will be missed!

 

Very sad to hear this. PMs, phone calls or just reading his posts, he helped me out many times. Always had time for questions and his answers were gospel.

 

I know there are many who will miss him. I'm very sorry.

 

RIP Jim and condolences to your family and your friends.

During the parts gathering phase of my Y Block build for my RPU I got hold of an old Holley distributor.

I spoke to Jim and mailed it out to him and he rebuilt it, did the conversion to electronic and set the advance curve to operate properly without vacuum advance.

It’s working perfectly in my engine.
Jim will be missed.

 

Damn what a loss to all of us. Never had the pleasure of meeting him. I am a lesser man for that.

 

Godspeed Jim

 

Well crap.

 

So sorry, may he Rest In Peace.

 

Dammit... Jim, his knowledge and helpfulness will be missed.

 

My condolences to his family and friends. Always sad to see these passings.

 

RIP, condolence’s to his family and those who called him friend.

 

Always willing to answer my questions. Used several of his converted Chevy to Flathead distributors. His knowledge was endless and irreplaceable. RIP Jim.
