[T3] Newbie with dumb questions.

[Keith Park]

What kind of service did that see, town or highway?
Stroker cranks are fine but the bigger cylinders run hotter,
Back in the day, Berg actually talked me out of a 1776... its why there as a
1679 in the Notch.

Still good quality parts, maintenance and driver and our engines can last a
long time...

I can' t let this one go Keith.  I got 125k miles out of my 74x94 before
there was a parts failure.

modern a/c compressors use roughly 1/4 to 1/2 HP to operate.  and if the
choice is for a rough car to come back to life with a/c and some holes or
just sit and rot, by all means, bring it back to life!

Sometimes you have to ignore the non-stocker (stock in his own mind) guy.
His heart is in the right place, but his brain gets in the way.  (love ya
