I haven't posted here much lately but wanted to pop in and say hello and share a minor but irritating personal mishap. Last week I tripped over a short ladder in my garage and came down in 4th finger on right hand. I ended up dislodging my last 2 digits of finger and shoving it under the first digit. It looked CRAZY. I went to hospital and they X-rayed and reset the finger and set in place with a splint. They also said I have a minor fracture.
During all of this, even the resetting there was not much pain, but I am an old school finger keyboard typist and it is crazy how long it takes me to type even this short message. The good news is I am left handed but who "writes" anymore?!
I have also had to shelve my work on the next newsletter which I had just started really getting into.
The good news is we can still Zoom this Sunday!
Anyway, it was not a major medical problem, but thought I would share. Hope you are all doing well!

Jason,
Sorry to hear about the finger injury. Hopefully it will heal soon so you can get back to working on your Caddy. I'm also left handed, so better it happened on the right. Hope you feel OK.

Thanks. I have figured out how to do everything from post hole digging to lugging parts around one handed but I will be glad to get that finger back for typing!

Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
