The cable that I have would be more trouble than it's worth. I think you would be better off to fabricate one. That way you can use his peddle. It was nice to meet you guys.

Looks good guys. I would have much rather been there than pouring concrete?. One question however, did the "flarechero" make its first appearance?? I hope this spring that the "flarechero", the Genechero, and my 62 (still to be named) can show up together somewhere..
Anyway nice job, you all have earned a good defrosting!

I'm close, but no cigar. I hope to have its engine misbehavin's sorted out pretty soon. I need to run it for a while to do that and at the moment I'm focusing on getting it all water-tight and all the little doo-dads installed before I open up the garage. I need to update my "Crazy" thread soon.

I'm sure by spring we'll both be able to meet up with you somewhere. I, for one, will do all I can to help Gene meet that deadline.

Post pictures of your concrete pour. Those of us who have been there would like to see the change you made.

I'll pop those up in the chit chat.... Poured 6 yards Yeah Yeah!!! Also dropped off the chero at the tire store this am. Getting new shoes and an alignment. Found out it has front disk brakes too.. Go figure.
Anyway hope you get the bugs worked out and I hope Gene get's his bugs worked out as well.
Good job for all you guys that made it over to Genes. Gotta love a club that will freeze their b**ls off to help out a friend. Hope to make it over again soon. In the mean time more pics for those of us who didn't make it...

We were so efficient - a well oiled machine - that day, we barely had time to take pictures.

I'm not sure how many pics Kenny got, but I only got the two I already posted. I'll be posting a few more as I go, though.

Thanks for looking, Roger. I haven't ordered Lokar stuff yet (it's pretty pricy). Hopefully something can be "manufactured" to avoid that. I did get to ARP today and get the proper hardware on it's way for the manifolds and covers. Also, the brass that's needed for the manifold has been acquired. Still lot's of loose ends to tie up.

Steve, I admire your attecking the flatwork. This past summer I considered it and decided to have it done for me. I guess I'm feeling too old for that kind of labor.

There are two kinds of set ups, I can't remember the other one. But be advised that the Loclear is designed for a new build, meaning the peddle bolts up from the fire wall in. I did it that way and boy what a pain. I bought mine at Nappa. If you don't fabricate one I would go to a Nappa store and compare the two.

Thanks Denny for looking. Gene - I have a few cable-style accelerators I've collected over the summer and I found something last night in my pile that might just slide over that pedal shaft and clear the intake runner. I will drag it all over there and we'll get things hooked up... somehow. Hold off buying something from Lokar until we've had a chance to work on it more.
