Yes it's still on. The directions are from Houston.

Go north on I-45 to south loop 336 (exit 84) at the red light turn right under the train tracks heading east. Go through 3 lights. At the 3rd light you will see a gas station on the left side of the road (opposite side of the light) Go through the light and just pass the gas station to the east you will see a road. Turn left and Earl's place is about 1/8th mile on the right.

See ya there

And when he says just past the gas station...he means just past the gas station. It's the next street after the station...trust me I passed that thing up last year and felt like a dumb a$$ when I finally did find it.

Neal,
Did you get the torque convertor for Nasty yet?

Erik

 

[NastyGn]

Yes it's in the car and Nasty will come up to EJ's with me.

So far the converter looks good in the parking lot, will see how it does at the track.

See Ya at Earl's

I still can't get my F'n driver's side motor mount to go in the car. I've taken the center pin out of the passenger's side, got a floor jack under the oil pan, and I still can't get the motor to go up...oh, wait, yeah I can...up with the rest of the car when I jack it up.

More than likely I'll wind up taking the Jeep instead of the Buick

Erik

 

[NastyGn]

It sounds like you maybe hitting the bell housing, did you install the motor with the tranny? If so you need to jack up the tail of the tranny to get the mounts to line up.

Just a though

 

[Kid with a toy]

The only swap is (was going to be) the driver's side motor mount. I was trying to do it while everything was still in the car. Just a plain swap....but Noooooooo... the Buick Gods had to have their laugh too.

Erik,

Tell me ya DID take the tie-down strap off the alternator?

 

[Kid with a toy]

Oh my god...the tie-down strap...holy crap...why didn't I think of that first....


Oh wait...I DID.


I can't believe you think that little of my mechanical aptitude.
Of course I am the guy with a motor mount kicking his a$$




You missed out on a great day at Conroe. The weather was great, the food was great, the drink was cold, and for a minute there I thought I had Neal talked into putting Nasty on the burnout pad.

I agree with Erik, for those who did not go it was a GREAT TIME!

With good food, cold drink and lots of good people to boot, not to mention all the nice cars. EJ and his wonderful wife put on one hell of a show and feed. THANKS

Congratulations to all the show winners and to those who were in the burn out contest......That is one hell of a show

Take Care
