    1968 Holley Quick Change Jets

    That looks like a slick kit for the jet replacment. One question I have is, have you tried the tool to remove the jets? It looks like it could possibly be so long that the distributor will get in the way. Anyway thanks for posting I think it would be a great addition. Ralph

    1968 still overheating

    Rob, Great information for Tom. One of the things I hope is that members here never get "insulted" when the"MASTERS" like yourself ask questions about where they are at and their skill/knowledge level. I have a fun story about my GT/CS and similar situation. My brother-in-law is a rather...

    1968 Extra Coolant Port?

    James, I have no personal experience with the MotoRad fail-save t-stat, but have researched several other hot rod sites on this stat. It appears that many of the folks that put them in, found them to fail ( lock open) at temperatures far below serious over-heat. Ralph

    . Computer-based Restoration Spreadsheet?

    Tim, now that would be a big project, but worthy of a whole new "BOOK". Too bad that such an idea hadn't happened before, but maybe now is the time.Thanks Josh for the concept, lets see where it goes. Ralph

    . Computer-based Restoration Spreadsheet?

    What a great idea Josh, it will be very interesting to see what the responses are to the post. I believe it would be a real help keeping someone track from start to finish of a project, whether that be a total rebuild or just a winter project. It might be interesting to have Neil respond with...

    Boise State

    I hesitate to think of the options after I opened my mouth about OUR Oregon state Beavers going to play the Bronco's early in the season. But, does anyone out there think the BCS and the national media would ever let an Oregon Duck...Boise state Bronco game for the National championship...
