Oh yeah? Brothers carb on an 87 Toyota pickup. Welcome to hell.
My 1958 Mamiya can beat up whatever camera you just wasted your money on.

Okay, you're just asking for it at that point.

Putting the 87 back together, need to dig out the Banshee and give it a once over. Donna's Honda needs battery, the Cub Cadet needs its annual as does the oldests atv. Not to mention that my truck needs brakes and an oil change.

I think I will just go back to sleep. :yawinkle:

Last carb I did was a feedback 4bbl Quadrajet off an 87 307 Regal. No fun.

I love Q-Jets! About to start undoing tank straps on my El Camino now.

Looks good - for a Ferd. :)

I put a new serpentine belt on the Caddy - Freaking Gatorboack I had on there started splitting. WTF? I have never had a Gatoback fail before.

Well - this one didn't outright FAIL - but it would have in 2-3 days.

NAPA got $50.00 for a belt. Again - WTF? I did ask for the best though.

Try having to reverse-engineer a goddamned Whirlpool dishwasher sometime. Loads of fun and you get the bonus of being all wet and filthy. It's a horrible world under the counter.

Did you get a Haynes manual for that too?


Muhahahahah!

Shit, I have Haynes, Chiltons and GM service manuals for my GM cars! Keep a few at a time on my toilet tank.

I've got a shop to drop the cradle out of my Dad's Camaro, but waiting on the whole probate issue before I go balls out and slam it all together.

Buick is a wreck, and my old Ford has a date with the tranny builder. Still wondering if I should ditch the C6 for an AOD?
