  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    What did you do for a career and would you pick it again?

    Hmmm, It doesn't look like anyone here will be taking up at seat @ the WEF anytime soon. I'm looking into making up a good pole vaulting stick in order to get me over the wall at least:oops:

    The build back to 9:7:1 was less painful. Threw the 8.5 10 bolt back in with an Eaton posi, 3:42 gear, Th 400 with a trans-go, 2800 coon stall, short headers with 2 1/2" coming off the collectors into 2 1/4 pipes. Much better street manners these days. @ 60mph, I'm hitting 3200 on the street...

    @ 10:5:1 is was experiencing too much detonation running Sunoco 94 with 104+ booster. The aftermarket stuff for Olds at the time was pretty much useless, the Holly Dominator needed port matching and the like. The Edelbrock heads at the time also needed machine work and porting to get them to...

    Arbor-Spindle best practice for cleaning before installation

    Saves on having to look into the prices of shrink fit holder systems If a rusty oxidized holder taper is the problem along with the spindle taper looking much the same... Freon, would help for an arm strong shrink press fit:eek:

    Holly jumpin', N/A.... what compression were you running ? Fuel ? You recall the engine bob weight? Roller of flat tappet ? In the pic above looks like you had the quick release exhaust cut out kit? Did you see the tenths drop further? 10.7 @ 128 through the mufflers is impressive!!! Ok, nuff...
