R.I.P. BlackJack

Tom,
Saw a post on Club Cobra with a link to the CACC site (Scott Harrison thread) saying that Blackjack passed away from apparent natural causes. Sorry to hear it, he was quite a character.

Re: Carburator adjustment Holley 4150

Stefan, Received the 8 page pdf spec file you sent. File is too large to upload, so I had to break it into individual files to upload. Some observations: As expected, cam is pretty aggressive with respect to lift and LSA, lots of overlap. Would not want to run Weber carbs with that cam. No indicatio...

Re: Carburator adjustment Holley 4150

Hmm, interesting, so I presume the car has never run well for you or the original owner. You'd probably have done better to call Keith Craft rather than email, but that's for another day. I posted my contact info in the private member section so you can email the spec sheet to me and then I'll post ...

Yep, had the same issue with my '08 Frontier. Figured I could get out in front of the problem with this one by installing the felt washers under the clamps and coating heavily with dielectric grease, but you can see where that got me. The problem is the cheap-ass batteries they install at the factor...

Re: Nissan = &^^%#@$@$!@

Tom, look familiar? Truck began to turn over sluggishly the past few days, figured I ought to check things out... :GR:: Was able to get everything apart without destroying anything, cleaned it up with baking soda and reassembled.
