As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Those carbs seem to be going for a good price on ebay. I saw them up to $695 the other day, good job. Where did you get those little aluminum choke plungers from?

They are up to $710.00 now. Plus $100.00 for the velocity stacks if wanted.

I got two sets of the choke plunger spools from a seller on ebay. I just tried to get some more from him, but he's no longer a registered member.:mad: I wish I had another set.

Hey Guys,

I haven't done much lately. Been working alot. Just finishing up rebuilding a set of VM29's for Tom, then I'll start dipping and painting the VM33's. They are actually already jetted close (I think), so no parts to buy.

The motor still needs the head put on and the cams degreed. If I'm not working this weekend, I plan on getting that done. Then the motor will get put on the shelf so I can then start getting the frame ready. I have a friend that will be helping me do the frame bracing. Then eventually get the frame powdercoated and all back together. :)
 
Glad to here you have been working a lot, Bruce!! :D

How's the 1150 treatin' ya???
 
:lol: Sounds like my Skunk... :)

Did 75 miles or so on the G today though... boring ones :(

I feel your pain...my Ole Girl is sitting up on a jackstand with suspension, awaiting Bandit transplants. Have most of the stuff, but have no business spending any more money at the moment, so she patiently waits...I did pull my bro-in-law's 63 F100 out the garage and wash it, though. took it for a spin too!! That helped put a smile on my face :)
 
Anyone still subscribed to this? :o

My garage is clean and the new motor in the wife's impala is in :mad:, so time to get back on track with this build. I have pretty much everything I need to finish putting the motor back together. I have some cam sprockets on the way thanks to a fellow GSR member, and trying to find some aftermarket cams. I have some cams from an 1100 GK...I was told once that they are a hotter cam, so I can use those for now if I have to.

Things left to do:

Install and degree cams.
Get the frame and misc. parts blasted and powdercoated.
Do some minor work on the wiring harness.
Get the wheels polished and painted.
Get the paintwork done on the body parts.
Re-assemble everything.
Do the wiring including the coil relay mod.

The blasting/powdercoating/painting has already been bartered for, so mostly I just need to do the labor to get it done.
 
I'm still subscribed! Just got the performance head I got from Ed on my 1085 S yesterday Bruce. Ported, megacycle cams, oversized valves, 34mm flats. Making just a tick more power :dancing:

Joe I'll bring it up next time I'm your way so you can test it out yourself :)
