Thank God I have an understanding wife...

I'm pushing the 4:1 ratio for meetings versus Wheeling or working on my rig...

This week:

Mon- RIOHVA e-board meeting, 7:30pm-9:00pm
Tue- RI TAC Motorized subcommittee, 8:30am-10:30am
Sat- NEA meeting, whenever to whenever....

:shock:

and this is a LIGHT meeting schedule week. In the weeks to come, the RIOHVA quarterly-meeting is going to require about 6hrs worth of meetings ahead of time, the PR work necessary to prepare for the publicity that the RI TAC request for proposal will generate will take about another 10 hours, and then there's the ordinary TAC work and chit-chat on the boards.

I'm ready for a vacation; I may take up fishing...

I completely sympathize with you Bob. I haven't wheeled since last year but I've gone to plenty of meetings :evil:

by **Scott Hatch** » Tue May 02, 2006 1:32 pm

I haven't wheeled my rig in 2+ years either :shock:

We need more wheeling meetings.....

It is a great thing you guys are doing, but you need to wheel!
Bob

I need to get my Jeep running THEN I can wheel :banghead: :lol:

Seriously, the intent of moving the meetings around was two fold

First and most importnatly give the members traveling 2+ hours a reason and reward of wheeling after a meeting.

Second to get the meetings closer to some of the delegates and members that typically drive long distancee

You will be making a Quadrajet fit a Clifford 258 intake manifold. I already did such a conversion, but I had a Clifford produced adapter. I can be made to fit. The Qjet you are using went on a 1980 Buick Century Turbo v6.

by **Treasurer** » Mon May 08, 2006 12:18 pm

Thanks Dom, now I need to crawl through my rig and see how bad it is :oops:

FYI this is a trail rig and I'm only concerned about the mechanics.....the rot monster has had its way with my poor girl. There is probably more fiberglass then orginal steel.

by **mikesmaxx** » Tue May 09, 2006 1:41 pm

Have it posted on our site,hopefully a few chevy/gm guys will show,you did say q-jet :wink:

by **Treasurer** » Tue May 09, 2006 1:47 pm

I know how to get the Qjet to run on that engine. I had one on a 258. I might stop by.

by **Paul** » Tue May 16, 2006 10:54 am

Are we all set with this?

Scott did you get your own post in the events section?
I didnt see one.

You need one.

You want my Weber?

by **Scott Hatch** » Tue May 16, 2006 11:12 am

no but thanks, I got the carb and adaptor, just need to adjust it to make it fit

and yes it is listed in the events

by **Paul** » Tue May 16, 2006 11:28 am

I'll bring the Weber, just in case.

by **Treasurer** » Tue May 16, 2006 11:31 am

It cannot hurt.

by **Scott Hatch** » Tue May 16, 2006 11:36 am

You coming Steve? I could really use your "expert" knowledge on the QJet

by **Treasurer** » Tue May 16, 2006 1:04 pm

If today were Saturday yes. I hope to be functional this Saturday. After all everybody that shows up has to buy winch raffle tickets. Do you have the accelerator cable that I made fit? The main issue with a qjet on a 258 is the accelerator cable length. Also a stock GM Qjet does not have a fuel return line.

by **Scott Hatch** » Tue May 16, 2006 1:10 pm

No, how much, what type, and where can I get one?

scott

by **Treasurer** » Tue May 16, 2006 1:18 pm

The problem we have to overcome is a GM carb with a Chrysler setup. I bought the cable off the shelf at Autozone. I do not remember the part number anymore. I might remember it if were to look at all the cables in an Autozone.
