    Hey Cupcake
    It's much more likely that my REAL NAME is Earl Hickey than yours is stevedmc.


    Good luck pimping out your ride on ebay and I'm not the least bit surprised you are completely unaware how very easily you could TBI your short runner'd dual plane reversion monster intake.

    I'll be charitable however and tell you that reversion is why your air filter is often wet with gas and that you should also, just because I said so, increase the bowl venting on your primitive fuel metering device.

    It does often have raw fuel standing in the air filter housing, doesn't it. Try looking, carefully study my posts, and maybe you can figure out why.

    Would you like for me to tell you the three rpm ranges that it spits raw fuel out the top of your carb's airhorn?

    Would you like for me to tell you how to cure it and the occasional rough bucking or jerking, no matter how slight?

    See, I could have a goofy nick like yours and it would make what I type to you no less correct or substantive.

    Maybe you will prove intelligent enough to actually realize I know what I'm talking about.

    In the mean time, it would appear you'd do better for yourself if you refrained from constantly trying to be "cute".

    I doubt anyone that made the connection would find how you present here to be that of anyone they wanted to buy anything from or even rent their car.
    Shut up Earl.

    My VIN:    11596

    A superior troll of the highest order. Be careful, they are becoming harder to detect.

    Telltale signs:
    1. Refusing to sign a real name to anything
    2. Boasts about superior endeavors and offers up zero evidence of it. NOTHING! and people believe this tool because he talks a big talk.
    3. Takes a shit in every thread he finds him/herself in (see #2)
    4. Treats everyone else as a primitive imbecile, and tries to prove superiority by misspelling Holset during the course of a flaming
    5. Won't even post a VIN #

    How is this guy still on the forum? He is like Joey Gowdy after taking a fluid dynamics class.

    Agreed and love it. I also don't understand why he hasn't been banned yet. Mods, can we get on that, please?

    I would say I'd like to see Earl banned but one thought just came to mind.

    If Bill ever came back it would be very entertaining to see Bill and Earl go at it. I almost think the mods would appreciate Bill correcting all of the garbage Earl has been saying.

    Garbage versus garbage? That would be very entertaining!

    My guess is because he has A LOT of knowledge but, unfortunately, a..."poor delivery".
    He has a week to think it over...
