How far away is ?outside the Fairgrounds?? Funny, they let me right in at the SAAC event. :)

Parking is right across the street, both General parking and people will let you park in their front yards for a fee........about $20/day. Several are driving down from New England. Steve is from NH, maybe join up with some of them and caravan down together?

Car is prepped and my bag is packed. Steve from NH will be leaving bright and early Thursday morning

Re: Corvettes at Carlisle, 2022
 

Glad your all set Steve, looking forward to seeing you. I am going to pick up batch 1 of 3 pork shoulders today at Costco and start cooking tomorrow, then get the next batch and cook Tuesday and then the final batch and finish Wednesday night. Drive up with 75-80 lbs of pulled pork Thursday morning where we eat what was cooked on Monday and so on. Tried to be proactive and change out the fuel pumps to the Delphi units that have the ridge on the outlet port. Plus installed Carter's machined triangle piece in place of the stock plastic unit. Even got new stainless steel clamps. Only problem was getting the assembly back in after the change out. Fought with it for an hour, it just would not get back in.........got pissed and manhandled it and forced it back.......I know it was way to much force, bent or broke something or maybe cut a wire. Now my gas gauge is stuck on 3/4 of a tank. Filled it up and 0 out the trip so I can keep track and not run out of gas. If this cannot be fixed, might have to go with the new single pump conversion. We will see. Anyhow, for now, just have to focus on the food, can't mess that up! See you all soon.

Great, now I'm hungry. See you Thursday. I need to avoid Hartford CT between 7 and 9. That means I leave at 4 or 6. See what time I wake up.
That single pump conversion is a work of art. I just don't remember who built it.

This will be my first Carlisle and I haven't been to a Gathering in a few years. Loading up the Admiral today since I have to work Monday and Tuesday and will make my way up Wednesday. It'll be great to see some of you guys again and looking forward to meeting some new faces. Hope everyone stays safe on their trip!

Quasar had not been out of garage since returning from Gathering. I popped in a rear wheel hub yesterday that was making noise. I will wipe her down in the Magnuson parking lot.

Manual says 160 lb-ft but Chevrolet later revised king nut torque for manual C4s to 190 lb-ft. Otherwise, it will develop clicking sound starting in 1st or reverse.

My Duke, helped me clean up the '92. ready to see you guys in a few days.
