I got my gaskets from LPE. Who is Scott?

As for my issues with the GM stuff, I'm real skeptical about my ostrich acting up. It was a multitude of things that made me go for the FAST, self tuning being one of them. I really just want to drive the fuck out of this car. Summer is here and I'm already late.

Right now I have the engine back in the car, just mounted my 6A box and remote coil for the FAST dual sync dizzy. Headers are on, so now I know where I can run my fuel pressure block, time to make some braided stainless lines!

Note I had to buy two sets of the Saginaw to AN adapter fittings. One set for the fuel rail, and one set for the connections by the fuel filter.

Good to know you guys are making them in case

Wanted to start making some others only out of a better material. I never liked those paper type gaskets they tear too easy. Yes they are cheap and they do work I just want a little more. Looking into other disc stuff to T off of also.

All depends on their setup quote. Its going to be real pricy then need to figure if its still worth it.
The idea of actual tool stamped pieces of a real high quality material (albeit little more $) theres an audience for both. Hope so anyway.

Good luck on the venture!

I have put my project on hold waiting for what Scott finds out. If he can get them cut at a reasonable rate, no reason to duplicate efforts.

Keep me posted, Scott. Did your guy tell you where they would be sourcing the gasket material or what type it was? There are a few companies online that manufacture gaskets, but I don't know them and not sure on the quality of the gasket material itself.

We discussed his experience with making automotive gaskets which they have done but did not get into specifics of sourcing - Bob mentioned he had several material vendors he could call on. I gave him a link to this page for additional information, primarily to show the interest as a community since that has an effect on how he might want to proceed. I did mention the materials being rolled up but he wasn't concerned - vacuum table. I'll still need to get him the cover gasket as you had mentioned.

Scott, do you still have the set uninstalled? Just wondering because the lid gasket is not included in the above files.

Well, step one is I found a local shop that said they can do the gaskets. They have laser and waterjet cutting. I spoke to the owner, he said he needs to see the example and the gasket material/thickness to quote a price. I will have to pay to have the gasket computerized because the above examples do not include the lid gasket.

Biggest obstacle right now is the gasket material. To match the Mr. Gasket original material, it is 1/16", which is not the problem. Mr. Gasket and Fel Pro both have that thickness available. The problem is the gaskets are sold in rolls which is curled up, and that is difficult to cut on the waterjet machine according to the guy I talked to. I called Mr. Gasket and they do not sell it in flat sheets. I am going to contact Fel Pro and see if they are willing to sell it in sheets vs rolls.

So far, this won't be super cheap just based on materials and setup alone. Add in shipping costs and everything else...I don't expect it would be less than $50 a set.

Well, our customer with the '03 wanted a Tigershark front bumper, ordered one. Apparently there's no original Tigershark like on mine anymore, there's now this "tigershar2" thing. It came in and wouldn't even fit on the car. so... it goes back to the manufacturer - those guys at Extreme Dimensions. Not having a very good time with those folks - not wanting to speak ill of anyone but was wondering if ours was an isolated incident or if anyone else had any prior experience.

I was wondering why more folks don't do that. Do the shorter masts not work as well? What about the few vehicles that had the antennae wire on the perimeter of the front windshield? Anyone tried that one?

personally, I am going to ditch the power and get a short mast, like what is on many newer cars.

I really like the 4" masts...

I just realized something...

It just hit me! My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day.

He has his food prepared for him.

His meals are provided at no cost to him.

He visits the doctor once a year for his checkup and again during the year, if any medical needs arise.

For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him.

He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep.

If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.

He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep.

He receives these accommodations absolutely free.

He is living like a king and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever. All of his costs are picked up by others who earn a living.

I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a ton of bricks...

My dog is a CONGRESSMAN!!!!
