Someone had some play money back in that day.

I'm sorry, Crazy Cats was later. The one I'm thinking of above was "The Wiz"

I clearly remember the first time I saw a multi-ball machine. Oooohs and Aaaaahs. Same with Magna-Save. The first time I saw Space Invaders, it was at a consignment/thrift store of all places. Right next to a honda cm400 automatic. For about a year, that was the only video game in a 5 mile...

Front buckets- yes. Rear bench- no.

Those "keg" manifolds have their own issues. 1- they eventually leak, and build up a large amount of carbon. 2- they are basically flat on the bottom, which kind of negates the "tunnel" effect that the upper portion of the runners have. A company used to sell a "turtle", that could be bolted...

For some reason, when I send checks from my business bank, they always arrive on Saturday. Happens no matter the day I issue them. NOT the most convenient.

I don't get people who's items end at midnight.

The sweet spot for me was to have an item end Saturday or Sunday, late morning or early afternoon.

TBI would be right before the revised Magnum design in 92. Was different for trucks, but 88/89/90/91 would be my guess for general application. I have an '87 5th Ave and it was still lean burn electronic BBD carb.

Yowza. What did that push? (...and don't say "anything it wanted to.")

Almost as much fun as the women trying on underwear is women trying on swimsuits. See, there are a few redeeming qualities about tiktok.

"Magnum" 5.2, 5.9, and 3.9 started in 92. Easy 100 HP over the 318, and 360. Even more over the 225. 92 has slightly larger exhaust manifolds and the 5.2 is rated only 10 HP lower than the 5.9 that year. IIRC it's a "real" 230/235 NET HP for the 5.2 and a real, net 245 for the 5.9.

Yes, but what size?

Roller cam started in 83-85-ish. Really just a wear/longevity upgrade as it had the same or very similar specs as the HFT cam it replaced. Still cool for small upgrade potential. TBI EFI around 88/89. 3.9 is a 318 missing two cylinders. Same water pump, timing cover, accessories, etc. Perf is...
