It's a good day, I got fun stuff in the Mail

[TheSilverBuick]

It's always a good day a Summit Box shows up ;D Got my cam degree wheel, 1,000cfm throttle body and a Summit 4-guage tach. Now I need to get to ordering those pistons and a cam set from T/A


Tach looks good so far in mock up, just need to find a trim ring on E-bay so I don't have to cut up the one on the clock The allen screw that holds the clock in works perfectly for the Tach too, sits perfectly in the pod.

Re: It's a good day, I got fun stuff in the Mail

Yeah they don't make a black face, white lettered and orange needled gauge, so it'll have to do :P Maybe I'll try and stick it behind the stock plastic covering with the trim too.

OK I got to ask :D what happens when you push the retard button do you tell a dumb joke?

[TheSilverBuick]

Re: It's a good day, I got fun stuff in the Mail

No, but the car does :P Actually if the Cruise is turned on, rather it is active or not, hit the Retard button and it applies the brakes, the pedal drops and everything! Longer you hold it the more aggressive it starts applying them. Gotta love the 60's. I've used the joke that it ejects the Retard in the passenger seat before though ;D

Re: It's a good day, I got fun stuff in the Mail

so "retard" and "decel" are definitely different.... whoa - never heard of a set up like that applying the brakes.

unreal that it actually still works! the cruise on my newly aquired diesel 95 benz doesn't work!

The Cruise Control unit needs to be rebuilt/cleaned out or something, the cruise is permanently set at 78mph. Which is fine for the open highway cruising, but causes rapid acceleration at any lower speed :o I did electrical tape and rtv the diaphram that moves the throttle when I got the car a year and a half ago and it still is holding. Been thinking of tapping into the Cruise system with a remote button to assist in bleeding the brakes next time I have to 8)

Re: It's a good day, I got fun stuff in the Mail

I got them from a BFG PR rep. He was heading up their sponsorship of the Autocross event at Goodguys of Orange County show. When I signed up, they asked what tires I was running when I filled out the form. He sent me an email thanking me for using BFG's and asked if there are anything he could do to help. I half joked that I needed new 275's for my 65 Impala. He said OK. After my first run at the show; he came up to me and said he got approval for the tires I requested. They showed up a couple weeks later.

So, I figured it couldn't hurt to ask him for drag radials. He could only say no, but he said yes; and here they are. I have never been sponsored by anyone before. When I worked for a speed shop and said I'd go to the track with their name all over my car; my boss wasn't interested. I wasn't asking for anything, but help with parts costs. He just gave me the standard employee discount.

The greatest thing about all this is that I truly believe in BFG's products. I've been using their tires on all my cars for 20 years. I've never, not once had a tire that didn't go the distance, plus they are much less priced than the competitors.

Re: It's a good day, I got fun stuff in the Mail

Getting parts is definitely cool. I have the six cylinder headers on the way from Jegs, but they have to get made first. I guess our neighbors to the South of the Border are digging out the tooling and firing up the custom line to get 'em done. Some day in the next couple of weeks, the door bell will ring and there will be the UPS guy with a box for me!
