I went by your place yesterday to make sure I know where it is, and to check on the tornado cleanup. I'll be out there most of the day Friday since I need to get all the utilities on CR 525 mapped for upgrade.. WOO HOO...

I should be there by noon. Stop by if you see the red 2nd gen there.

I haven't been down 525 lately, but there are still a lot of tornado scars in that area.

It crossed 525. Working where I do, I was out there first thing after it went through. I have pictures I took that day.

-AN fittings needed

I have a parts request for the guys going.
This isn't for my Dodge but for my toy. I need to get my fuel cell mounted in my 71 Chev. I need -AN fittings to fit the fuel cell. I know nothing about AN sizes. I "think" I need a -8 for the outlet and -6 for the vent. Do any of you have any extra -AN fittings laying around you could bring and potentially sell me?

I stood out in front of my barn and watched and "heard" it go past. It was pretty eerie (and scary).

I was impressed at how fast the first responders got there. As soon as it passed, 3133 was covered with flashing red lights.

IIRC our 90* fitting that goes to the VP-44 fitting is a -6.......BUT man...we have different numbers for all our parts and dont go by JIC or AN or BLAH!!! Its confuses the crap out of me....

Heck....i even talked to Eric at Vulcan and he said that its a nighmare to keep up with and he does that junk for a living!

Still looks slick. May be wrong way, but I think I like it better?? If you had not brought it up...no one would have even noticed the "half circle" Remember 'BrIan' lasted a month!

I noticed that when I installed. But, I hate to break the lines loose and lose prime to see if the fittings will work and then order them based on DPP part numbers...
I'll get them somewhere
