Post by: 70's Looker on April 19, 2008, 12:42:41 PM

Hello all!,

     Well i am in need of some help i got myself a bus now to boot around in and a 1500cc engine in it for the time being, i want to use this thing as my daily and i dont trust my engine skills enough to go on any long drives... so if anyone knows of who the best a/c engine mechanic is in langley to tune it up and make it pass the air care system out here that would help out alot!

awsome! i droped it off today with a long list for the guy! i sure hope it is ok! thanks for the help with it, and hey whats with the slow jokes? i had a 36er on the dyno last summer in my 59, it made 31hp and like 54 ft/lbs, print out is on the samba someplace if anyone wants to see the numbers let me know, but anyways nothing wrong with a nice 36 right?

Fast or slow....
as long as it makes you happy ;) Can not expect the same things to make us all happy, so each to his own!

Perhaps if I did not have soooo many miles to go I would drive them slowly?
Ok, ok maybe not. But I still respect the guy that drives his 36hp and wants it to be reliable enough to drive MORE!  ;D
And for the record..I ALWAYS slow down and wave :P

Good luck with the bus, I am confident Duane will take care of ya!
