A partner of mine is running for sheriff. Fingers crossed. I need a new job.

The primary is today.

Hence he needs a "new" job, not a job.

I know most everyone who knew our New(ish) county Sheriff got a job with him after his election. They're handing out serious cash to people.

I actually run Primaries as my Secondaries. Keeps the carbs from gumming up since fuel is always flowing through them but keeping the idle down is a bit of an issues. My primary secondaries are also bored out so it adds a nice punch.

BTW - Example pic. Not a picture of my engine compartment.

That whole Sheriff thing is cool also though.

I'm part of his command staff.

You guys are making me laugh with your secondaries.

Well, it gets worse. My "solution" to the idle issue is to move to custom carb tops with injectors built into them (cnc made). So instead of 2 primaries and 2 secondaries I will end up with 4 throttle bodies!

You mean the svt's duratec? Yes it is, the v6 sho's was more epic though.

I prefer vacuum secondaries myself:

BTW, Googling quadrajet 850 returned a pic of my own car on this site: The primaries are fine, but when the secondaries open on up my Olds it sucks birds out of the sky.

Vacuum secondaries "suck". I prefer a solid mechanical connection.

No big deal for me. My situation is... Funny in a sadistic kind of way. Just waiting for my time. Should be coming soon after talking to a certain agency's HR.

Thanks, all.

Within 3%. If we probably berkeleyed him with our measley 10%. I've learned a lot about winning by losing in the past three years. Watching the managers not doing what they aught to.
