I found this map on the ford v8 club page.

Perfect. Thanks for the link. Looks like we can catch them on their way out and in...

Yeah -- right up in front. Too bad they're going to make me wind through all the other spaces from the back-forty forward to get back up to the front.

One good thing -- the truck from work was delivered today after its $600 tune-up. Probably some plugs and a cap and adjust the timing. I have to look at what they did for that.

Anyway, I'll be able to bring all I have here in one trip -- which is good. Plan to be there by about 1 PM or thereabouts. And then again at about 7 AM Saturday.

Nice turnout today at the meet. We had a pretty fun day of it. Thanks to all of you who made it out to help and donate parts -- and hope all that couldn't make it are doing well. Weather was perfect and I hope it's as nice tomorrow!

We did well selling things too and made more than enough to pay for the space and cushion the bank account so we can do some things as a club. The final tally will be presented at the next meeting, Wednesday next week.

Cheers!

Tip for the swap meet next spring... "sunscreen". Even my hair hurts.

Ditto...it was nice to just hang around taking it easy. We passed out a lot of cards and got some great exposure for the club. Hope to see lots of new faces this summer along with the usual.

Try three days without it! Stupid me. I'm a tomato.

Roger, thanks for running the booth on Sunday and packing all that stuff out. Be sure the club buys some gas for the flatbed so we can use it again in the future.

**Luva65wagon** · May 17th, 2009, 10:47 PM

Considering I had to spend almost two hours working on it to get it to the meet -- I think they owe me gas!

Actually I'm going to have to talk to whoever did the "$600 tune-up" on the thing last week, because if I did a tune-up and delivered a car back that runs as bad as that, I'd expect to be out of business real quick. I actually suspect it has a jumped timing chain. Either that or the outer ring has spun on the Harmonic Balancer and the timing mark is in the wrong place. It was predetonating a lot an the timing says almost 20 BTDC now (I think 10 is where it should be).
