Well,

Goodguys is right around the corner. I don't care if I have to get my car on 6 cylinders, it's going to be there. If it rains... no problem. I don't care.

Anyone else going? We need to start showing that Pro-Touring cars actually exist. Charley always shows, but we need a few more.

Well, Charley won't be there this time. I think that's the start of the Power Tour. I'm still not sure what day I'll be going, but I'll be there. Anyone else wants to show, cool. Vince, Dennis, Mike, anyone else want to hook up? We can make it fun!!!!

**MrQuick** · 05-25-2005

Ahhh I gotta work Saturday,well I maybe busy sunday and I have to go to a Mopar show sunday morning in Newark. Gotta make money first!
Maybe we can meet up later....no I gotta deliver Mikes car. I think the shows gonna suck anyways.

dennis68 · 05-25-2005

I think I can actually make this one, and even bring my car! LOL. I just haven't had much free time lately, but next weekend looks OK...

**DRJDVM's '69** · 05-26-2005

We'll be there Sat for sure....

I'm planning on parking near the "main stage" area (where they do the awards, raffle etc). Its close to the bathrooms and the "kids area" for my wife and 3 year old.

'69 red with white stripes, child seat in the back... stop by and say hi !!!!!

**mdprovee** · 05-27-2005

I am going to try and go on Saturday, still up in the air though. I am going to meet Vince on Sunday to get my car from him. I can pick up the car later if you want to go to the show on Sunday Vince.

Mike

**Fuelie Fan** · 05-27-2005

I'll be in the area, but for a bachelor's party. Normally I'd say cars first, but I think this is an exception. Maybe if we're not totally destroyed I may stop by on sunday

**Blown353** · 05-31-2005

Still don't know if I can break free and make it, but how much is it to park inside?

**zbugger** · 05-31-2005

I'm definitely there sunday. I'll try and be there around 9 am. PM me if you all wanna meet up somewhere.

**MrQuick** · 05-31-2005

Unfortunetly, due to business obligations I will not make Sunday. If I do go it will be 6am to the swap meet on Saturday before work...gotta be back by 9:30.
Mike, lets shoot for 3:30 Sunday? Is that cool? Starting to clear out Oakland.
I hate to miss meeting you guys out there...next time.

**mdprovee** · 06-01-2005

Ya 3:30 will work for me Vince. See ya then.

Depends upon how much I get done on putting a new engine in the Camaro. I found a little problem with the 327 once I got it started so it's coming out to either get rebuilt or replaced. If I replace it with a crate engine I may be doing that this weekend. Guess I should have torn it down to check it before I installed it...

It was nice to hear the car running after 4.5 years even if it was only on 6 cylinders...

**TonyHuntimer** · 06-04-2005

I have some last minute details to iron out, so I'll be there tomorrow (sunday)... as long as my evil plan falls into place.

Well....

My evil plan didn't work. Seems that I have two bad roller hydraulic lifters.

Looks like I may need to upgrade to a larger solid roller. I've always wanted more than 483HP and 550 foot lbs of TQ at the crank. The motor is overbuilt for the small camshaft I currently run.

**MrQuick** · 06-04-2005

Damn that sucks Tony, I guess they can't make good hyd lifters anymore. I went solid myself. No other damage? Hope you get it together soon.
The show was cool, well at 7am that is. Lotsa good stuff to buy, I kept repeating "must resist!!!!" We'll try it again tomorrow. Not

**TonyHuntimer** · 06-04-2005

Nothing else seems to be hurt.

Here's my problem...

The stupid number 1 and 4 cylinders just won't get hot. After running 30 seconds, you can hold the header primary tubes on 1 and 4 without burning your hand and the other 6 are friggin hot like they should be. The last thing I can think of would be the lifters. I'm going to check the lift tomorrow.

Cam is good, lifter rollers are good, compression is good (and no leakdown), pistons are good, plugs are good, wires are good, distributor is good, MSD 6AL is good, coil is good, intake is sealed good, and no vacuum leaks. When I say they are good, I mean that I've replaced them or tested another part in the place of the original one.

I don't know what else to look at. Any input?

I was thinking of stopping by tomorrow.

**MrQuick** · 06-04-2005

John, give Allen a call.
Tony, im not too familair with the set up your running. EFI? You didn't mention carburetor so I'll assume its EFI.
Is your engine ticking loud or noisy? Even if your lifters weren't opening all the way,the cylinder should fire...unless they are not opening the valves at all...unlikely but not imposible.
You can measure the lift at the spring with the egine running, compare with others.
Maybe Allen and I can come out for a looks see.

2 1/2 heads are better than 1. Im free after 4pm sunday.
