  1. Saw an infomercial for 2 buck tv and it did capture my interest. Supposed to get over 500 channels, 100,000 movies, and 50,000 radio stations for the ridiculous price of $2.00/month. It's sort of funny/interesting that with "over 3 million" subscribers there is no info or reviews on the internet except for what they have on their site http://www.2bucktv.com/ When clicking on their contact me page, they require a phone number, I suppose it's to harass you over the phone...

  2. my 2.5 year old got his truck wet the other day because he parked it too close to the sink where I somehow make a mess cleaning bottles for our new born. It had water all over it. He went to pantry where I store the household microfibers, got one out, laid it on the ground, and folded it into 4ths, and proceeded to wipe down his truck..............

     

    The stare I got from my wife...... with the comment "and you think he doesn't watch you?"

     

      

    I know I know I'm the bad guy. I felt so bad after I took it from her.

    The very least you could have done is to let her "borrow" one of your old towels..... ;)

  3. Carb gaskets aren't expensive, but if your gonna do a carb rebuild you might as well wait.

     

    Right now that is on his "to do list"

     

     

     

    Not sure if this is worth it to you or your son, but it is available.

    Thanks, I'll pass that along to him. I had their set for my '88 F-150, great books. I had forgotten about that company.

  4. Mike, did you ever get this issue resolved?

    For the most part we did. Turned out that the distributor has a tach connection built it. We wired up a connector to fit on the spade. Idle was set about 1,500 rpm in gear. Slowed it down to 550 or so,a and its running pretty good now. We also found a couple bad vacuum lines going to the carb and fixed those. I feel that the previous owner had the idle set so high to cover the vacuum leaks. Eventually it will need a carb rebuild, but it's not high on the priority list. (Idle rises when spraying around the carb with carb cleaner).

     

    We also changed valve cover gaskets and straightened his valve covers to fix an oil leak. He no longer needs to put a drip pan down when he comes over.
