She's a good sport, she knows me better than that. She just had fun poking the bear, shes done it for 43 years. All this to a man people call Grumpy. No worries, all is good my friend, just funny.

ATTENTION EVERYONE, I AM THE DUMBEST HUMAN BEING ON EARTH. WILL, YOU ARE THE CAUSE OF THIS. I GET HOME AND GOOGLE UGLEYS 2 kids = vd over cm. What do you poped up when my wife walked into the room!!!??? Will, you got me in trouble. Talking about a old guy trying to explain that one. If you...

What I need is a lot of questions from different folks to make me think. If I miss something in the engine profile it will all be for naught. I've spoken to Jon and he is doing the machine work with out questioning my direction. He's just going to smile. This has to be me. Please ask questions...

Achieve The Goal At Any Cost!

I am running errands and won't be home for a couple of hours. You bet that will be the first thing I do. This is one I've never heard of. I had a feeling you would jump in with both feet at some point. I Love It.

There are different grades of sheathing used in different applications. Like what I used is prestolit used in hazardous environments. Cat uses it for starter cable.on 24 volt systems inside enclosed generators. After constant running you can't imagine how oily and nasty they get. After two or...

MAN, YOU JUST BROUGHT BACK A TON OF MEMORIES. I haven't heard about the Olds diesel in forever. Good thing that. I don't even know where to begin. I better come back on point before I gret in trouble. It's kind of nice to communicate with people that have the same MEMORIES as I do. Maybe more...

Yepers, manufactured under a different name. Hair like strands. I actually saw a man try to use 2/0 a.c. cable one time. He couldn't understand why this didn't work. He said " look how big this wire is, why is my truck hard to start". I guess giving him an Ugly's Electrical Reference book would...

I'm sure it's Prestolite and you will NEVER do better than that. No one can say you did it wrong by using this cable, well I guess they can because I see people every day and wander how can they find their way home. Amazing, Richard.

Are you referring to Prestolite cable?

What I done was sit at my welding table one day and just made up probably 20 ground cables in varying lengths and sizes. Now when I either need to replace or add to I go to the box and match up one thats very close. Have a great day, Richard.

Outstanding, your memory is better than mine. The extra large valves with BIG PORTS flowed something like 340 c.f.m. Thats a little big for low end torque so you need to raise the intake port floor. The older engine builers used epoxy and blended. The builder had to be pretty sharp knowing which...

Thats great, good luck. That sounds interesting and can be tricky. I love a good head scratcher now and then.

Well it's a 302 Windsor block with 351 Cleveland heads. The heads have 2.19 intave valves, I forgot the exhaust size. It takes a good deal of work plus a little science and a lot of math to make these engines perform. Have you ever done something that makes no sense just to see if you could do...

Now thats what I am talking about. Great idea on the panel buss bar. I would have never thought of that. We are both going in the same diection with cabling and I am using the copper lugs and soldering, crimping theology as you. I really liked the drawing showing placement of grounds. I studied...

O K gentlemen, this is a great chance to hammer me. I've started collecting engine parts to build a Ford Clevor 302 stroked to 347. I know using 351 W heads makes more sense than using Cleveland heads, this is a "I WANT TO DO THIS BUILD". This will probably be the last engine build I ever do so...

Forgot one. Buss barr mounted is accessory box.

And a couple more.

Here are a few pics of the new load control attach points. Also the battery and prestolite battery cable. The plan is to make a negative connection point, just don't know where yet. Gentlemen, this is the perfect time to get a few shots off at me on why this is not a good idea. Thank y'all...
