It was great to have you along Royce, to mind the store when I was out running around, and especially when we had to take down the booth.  I don't know if just Kevin and I could have done it, because the cops were insisting that one person had to stay with the vehicle at all times, which would have meant one person packing up the whole booth.  Would've taken forever.  I hope you can make it next year.  If not, I may have to recruit the drunk monkey...  ;D ;D

i can vouch for the police requiring one person at the truck.

Marc and I had to tag team that deal for a dozen runs from booth to curb with the hand truck.....wore me out pretty good...

it was great seeing all you guys - having an "FE Central" helped us both out in terms of traffic

   I caught up with Barry at the AERA dinner.  I was SO busy in my booth I wasn't able to get by and see Jay's latest stuff. I had LOTS of FE inquiries this year. It was a great show and I'll be on the same corner next year!

I want to take this moment to thank Jay for the heads-up about the MSD clear distributor cap. I installed one last night on my 428, chugged a bottle of Jack Daniels, and had an absolutely fantabulous time watching the little rotor chingie go round and round making cute little sparkies. Mesmerizing. After about an hour, I needed a change of pace. So, I threw tire chocks under the rears (safety first!), put the C6 into reverse, and watched the rotor chingie go around clockwise instead. Amazing!

During this experience I realized yet another opportunity that Jay missed. Yep, those intake adapters should be clear, too. Imagine throwing a bunch of brightly colored plastic balls into the oil galley and watching them bounce all over the place!!! Oh yassss!!! I thought I really need to get clear valve covers with this to highlight the upsies and downsies of Brent's soon-to-be-available neon-colored rocker arms. Ginchy!!

I KNOW I had another idea about this time, but evidently my "safety first" mantra did not include me opening the garage door while the engine was running, and I kinda forgot what it was. I also forgot my name and birth date, but I am confident that another bottle of Jack Daniels will help.

Obviously, you were delusional when you saw the rotor turn clockwise.  Oh wait, you are always delusional, aren't you?  Silly me, thinking the Jack and CO had something to do with it... ;D

  "Clearspark" distributor caps have been around for years. M/T used to sell them in the '60s.  The trouble was the polycarbonate material yellowed fairly quickly and then turned brown.

What we really need are clear FE heads. Jay should be able to 3d print them.

It's a step in the right direction. I'm in for a set.

Yep. Just think how far chemical technology has come since then. The future is clear. So hard to convince some people.

Just think. In reverse gear we can watch the mixture fire right after the exhaust valve closes.
