I pulled this piston and rod out of Will's old 2.8 that came out of the blue 87 GT. It's not only broken but it's bent and twisted.

Five Fieros in Niota?  Niota ain't got enough room for 5 more Fieros with all those that Darrell has up there. 

Robbie, I should have you an 86 short block up there sometime next week.  Low oil pressure, but nothing broken.  Maybe you could use it to rebuild Will's car.

Jerry, I think Robbie solved the problem with the battery you supplied for the Lil Duke Coupe.  He felt that the bad alternator was shorted to ground, keeping the battery from charging.  I disconnected the ground cable today and the charger indicated it was charging.

The 3.4 for my 87 went to the installer today.  Been buying parts for it since way back in the summer.  Finally got all the gaskets, flywheel and motor mounts and took the injectors to The Fuel Injection Connection today to be rebuilt.  Should have them back tomorrow or Wednesday.  Then I guess the car will go down to Ashby for the install.  Gotta refinish a set of valve covers first.  Would guess he'll have it back before Christmas. 
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

I know its late notice but we're having our Christmas diner Saturday the 19. It was going to be for members only but we've decided at the last minute to invite anybody that wants to come. I'll get to the shop by 12 noon to meet everybody as they get there. After everyone arrives then we're going out to eat at a resturant that everyone agrees on. Then we're going back to the shop to shoot the cow and eat snacks. We're not exchanging gifts just stories. So if you have Saturday open, come up and join us and meet some of our members.
