    Hey Mike, I put an SASE in the mail on Saturday for a couple of the new style of SW window sticker.

    I just noticed the link you sent on the Saab racer. I had tried to go back but that poster has not been active. Sad because I thought that may just have provided him with an answer. Thanks anyway. That was on SC and for some time my search (capability), was very limited over there past say three months or so.

    From another post it was hinted at the I am going to be banned for being critical of Antanov's bid for Saab. Dear Ken was offended. Sounds like wrestpro was gleeful in delivering the news in an off handed way. He and I locked horns on some US bashing he was doing some time back so I'm not shocked.

    Ken, will probably push a ban here too since I called him on it here the other day before he could slam the thread down. It seems they have come up with the word "distractive" as the reason.

    Oh well ... take care.

    Nothing to do with Tuna .. for 5 years I was a manager/employee/gopher and cutter at Pocono Springs Rainbow Trout. Cut fish, OMG, got cold hands?

    One of my "secrets" (for real), was to hold the live trout in a tank and add ice till it was like a Slurpee. Then take a rectal and gut and cut live. At least at 32 degrees they probably couldn't feel it since I waited for that core temperature.

    Heck they eat dog food with a few extra vitamins ... those "pink" farm raised get that way by adding keratin to the dog chow. In nature they get if from insects and crill. Just on chow they are white.

    Trout farming .. Idaho put us down for the count.

    Now you have to watch Wiki for accuracy, but didn't you mention putting a long nose on? I was trying without success, to get some information on a strut bar to stiffen up my front end and when you just "Wiki" in "strut bar" believe it or not it uses Saab as two examples.

    On the long nose 96 they say that it comes with a strut bar to stiffen the suspension up. This gets real weird, they also mention that on the Sonett MK2, that it holds the overflow fluid from the coolant tank. They post a pic but I can't see how it's done?

1973 Saab 96 Restoration: Storage

by Shazam on 29 August 2010 at 13:59
The past couple days or weeks have been pretty hectic. I needed to be back at school yesterday (Saturday) for classes that start Monday. But before that, I had to get my car all put back together (the gas tank was out, and some other things) and running before I left. So I had been working like a mad man to get it together, and I finally did, and it was running the best it had... only the day before I had to take it to storage. The last two days, I drove it every second I could. I did everything

1973 Saab 96 Restoration: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back, and Plans for the Future

by Shazam on 04 August 2010 at 12:43
It's always frustrating when you fix something, only to brake another part in the process. Yesterday I was working on the car, and replaced the engine thermostat. During the process, I over tightened some bolts on a housing that was sitting on a gasket that was too big. I ended up cracking the housing cover that I was putting back on... nearly the last step in the process. Yes my fault, but the gasket was supposed to be a direct replacement, so I feel like I'm not the sole person to blame...

1973 Saab 96 Restoration: Stranded

by Shazam on 01 August 2010 at 02:57
So I've finally been left stranded by one of my Saabs. About a week ago, I rebuilt my FoMoCo carb with a kit I got from Ashcraft Tech.... uhh, Ashcraft Inc... uhh, I don't remember their official business name, but it's owned by a fellow named Mark Ashcraft, who bought it from his father (the famous) Jack Ashcraft. Well, I seemed to have done something wrong during the rebuild. I wouldn't be surprised because this is my first time dealing with a carburetor.

Well, drove the car
