PRP Today

[THE BIG KOALA]

LOL, spent all day on my back getting the new bell in the car :D

Nice seeing everyone for sure ... We was clowning around on the line and one of my buddies said "what winter?", it was like we was just there last week. One good day cures a hell of a lot of winter.

You even made me call my old car yellow.

I noticed a guy there taking photos, is this "Truby"?

Does anyone know if he has a site, or does he sell the photos? I am hoping he got a good shot of my car with the front wheels up off the ground.

I pointed out your car to Bob Wenzelburger he took a gang of Pix of your passes contact Bob at the Addy below.

One of the high points of my day! The look on your face was priceless

[Martin0660]

I don't know if this version of the PRP site will include the pics from Bill or not.

2nd hand info so take it for what it's worth, but Bill Truby, Bob Wenzelburger, and another guy (dont know who he is) was all taking pictures Saturday, and are supposed to through out the year and have them on the site & for sale.

I glad that made your day and after all the times we joked about that I still can't believe you got me.

Well, the yellow car was just the cherry on top of the other conversations with other people now calling your car koala blue and your shrinking pecker :D

FWIW to anyone that cares, I simply refused to call Joes old car anything but yellow and worked it into every possible conversation ... Saturday we was talking about his old car and he called it his "old yellow car" ... took time, but I win!

And also the girl coming up and saying if she knew i was there she would have brought a stuffed koala bear to put in my car.

Anyone heading up tonight? Couldn't find a more appropriate thread to post in. Will be running this pig before I do a head/cam swap if the rain holds off...

[Balaska347]

I think Ill be up to see a little nitro practice

[somethingclever]

that truck is awesome Mark...FE or windsor?

Buddy of mine is nearing completion of his 66 F250...holly green and black two-toned

[Martin0660]

I will be there tonight. Need to get a few tuning passes in.

Lol, last Saturday on my one pass I pulled the USB out of the computer and got no data. Going to work on fuel and if I get that, might even put some timing back in :)

Thank you, been in the family since new, my Dad just gave it to me. It has a 351w/C4 from a '77 Lincoln Versailles swapped in. I just put an Edelbrock carb on it my cousin had laying around, and it is mostly stock otherwise. Even has an old points distributor with the worst advance curve I have seen in my life, and no springs around to do anything about it. :p

Mr. Gasket #925D - if you were closer I have a set I'd give you....or if I was going to the track tonight.

I have had good luck with the pertronix ignitor II's electronic pickup. Although I did run at the track once with points and ran the same time as the elec. pickup. :) (low rpm)

[yeahloh95]

i'll be heading up, leaving soon

Thanks! I will probably install the Pertronix at the same time I recurve the dizzy, I am 30 so I have no desire to screw with points.

Buddy is at the track now (5:40pm) and said he thinks they'll get the night in.

Laurie Cannister is there tonight testing her Prostalgia nitro funny car for next week, I want to huff some nitro tonight!! :D

Pretty cool truck, first vehicle I ever dove was a '56 F100 (pretty sure not and F150) with a straight 6 and a 3 on the tree.
Hey at least you got a V8 again Mark. ;)

Thanks! Unfortunately only got one pass tonight, 16.0@82 only picking up 16 mph the last half track. Had WAY too much timing in it, think the truck will go 15.20s the way it sits.
