Location: Placerville, CA.... You know, the only place on Highway 50 between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe the you find signal lights. Above the fog most of the time and I can see the stars of the Milky Way 8 out of 10 nights. Kinda cool.....

Thanks man!!! We like the geographical pluses of CA, but the rest has declined in ways I am embarrassed to say we live here. We fully understand the “proper” way to relocate……. Assimilate into your new environment and “DO NOT”, I repeat, “ DO NOT! Try to change it to what you left. It’s amazing how many try to do that and make a bad name for the majority of normal folks. Anyway, sorry for the rant.

We are still looking for our “ahh ha!” moment. Youngest in AZ with three grandkids and our oldest is here with 2.9(third is due in July). Wife grew up in Phoenix so that’s off the table. We are divers so that is a factor as well[emoji2371] in all transparency, we haven’t discussed UT, [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]

Back on point:
This is what I was working on.



Trying to figure out what this fuel valve “Scmutz” could possibly be?!?!? New valve is just as draggy as the original, and the new smooth Allen valve’s handle shaft is too short. The Allen is better but I haven’t figured out how to extend it so I can slide it inside the 3/8” aluminum torque tube. Thinking having a local weld a stainless steel addition to the end of the existing post and then turn it down to it will slide in and then drill the two holes for the threaded bolt and locknut.

Still trying to figure a solution.



BTW: love reading about your progress on your little hot rod and other work.[emoji1]
