Sacramento KDP Party

PapeCAT and I are getting together this weekend to kill our KDPs, drink a little beer and spout a load of BS (is that Black Smoke, or something else? Hmmmm). I'll probably char a few burgers and dogs, so if anybody else is in the area and wants to spend some quality time with a few 1st genners and their trucks, give me a heads up!

I'll be getting started around 8AM Saturday and probably be working on the truck until it's getting dark out (about 7PM). All are welcome any time in between. PM me for address/directions.

What? A 6 1/2 hour drive is too much? That's only about 20 gallons each way!

Woohoo! All the parts for my 4" exhaust have arrived, so I might work on that this weekend, too, and put the 16cm2 turbo housing on.

Wednesday night fun drags, here I come!

This is a real nice thing you're doing.

I will be in the bay area for a couple weeks next month.

It would be great to just see another 1st gen.

2 KDP's killed!

Both PapeCAT's and my KDP were about 1/8" - 1/4" out. Punched them back into their caves and secured them with the coat hanger method. PapeCAT (Nick) is putting his timing cover back on now. I've just got to put the coolant back in mine and she's ready to fire up.

The burgers were excellent! The cold beers will be coming out shortly.

2 other 1st Gens stopped by. Travis, a friend of Nicks just left in his '92 to go spend some quality time with his wife, and a buddy of mine, Paul stopped by with his 91 to pick up some wheels and a seat I sold him. Nick and I should have everything wrapped up in another hour or so.

Sorry - no pics yet.
