Eat one for me, Alan. Then go have your cholesterol checked just for grins.

No, just get one egg sammich, and then get a ham, sausage, bacon and cheese sammich for a chaser.
I'm a maybe for this.
This may be the weekend for the maiden voyage of the S.S. WildBill!
Although the egg sammich just may sway me.

That's a possibility.

Aw come on guys dp this a as a pre run for my PA Tour Cruise the next weekend ...... Cruise up to Carlisle, have egg sammich and stay till 1:00 PM for the judging then head out for the Homestead. Come to think of it, you'll be able to confirm that I actually still own the SAME triple black VS ! ~Alan

Geez, Alan, that's almost reason enough for me to come up there. Then I could just do the Dragon Run on the way back. Pam would love that.

Yes we're on ...The Fall Tour has renamed (per Cory)to the
"Pumpkin Run"...FYI pumpkins can be aquired at a stand along the return route.

Just got back from Fall Carlisle, had the required egg sammich. and weather was absolutely perfect. This is the first year for the 200 cruise cars to be judged. Kim and got one of the Meguiar's show awards for our triple black Vintage Speedster. I guess the sun reflecting off the black paint masked the few of my paint chip repairs.
And 3 minutes after arriving at Carlisle, some older gentleman offered us $21k for our Vintage and I actually passed on the offer....go figure THAT ! ~Alan

You PASSED on it?!?!?!?
Well wonders never cease ;-) I may actually get to see this one next May, huh?

I'm still banging my head against the wall :)
Just go out and sit in it......start it up and let it idle in the garage for a little bit.
You'll get over it...
Remember, you'll look pretty silly cruising the back roads of SW PA in an F650 truck tractor.......keeping the Speedie makes a lot of sense!

Bwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Speaking of there F-750, we bumped the ECM up an add'l 220 lbs of torque (laps tops are fun) what a difference in pulling the WV mountains with no drop in mileage, still getting 8.5 MPG the same as the Dodge Ram dually got.

Who did the laptop work?
I've been getting 15-16 when hauling Pearl on a trailer - not bad for a 6-liter at 70-75 mph, I think. Pulling South along I81 and I40 through the Apple-Chains I could really accelerate up-hill on those long mountain climbs - like the trailer wasn't back there at all. 90+% of the time I just left it in Cruise. Makes a BIG difference whether I stay below or above 70 mph...
Everybody told me not to chip my 6 liter, but I'm working on a Brown's Gas Hydroxy Generator to duct into the intake. Have two cells to start, with room for two more (have to mount them between the running boards and the frame). The first two should give me 10-14 liters per minute combined, and I can play with more cells later on. Either it'll give me more power and better fuel mileage or it'll go up like a Roman Candle......and it sits just under my feet {8>)

I had a local truck garage do it with their CAT 3126B specific program lap top.
The tech guy was excited like the professor in "Back To The Future".
I'm not familiar with the Hydroxy - thingy you mentioned but the roman candle though is something to seriously "consider". I would get on a couple of the Ford diesel power specific forums as they usually have Ford techs that run these sites and provide accurate info as to what you can and cannot do. ~Alan

It's a Brown's Gas generator.
Look here> http://www.smacksboosters.110mb.com/
Mine's a bit bigger than the Smack version - 24 plates rather than 12-16 and in a rectangular case, but the basic design is more-or-less the same. If I run three of my cells it generates the same amount of gas as a Smack 6-pack.
