Sorry, Since you can't use a leaf blower to work on a SVO, I don't have one -- Maybe Rob does ??

[SVORob]

Yea I got one
I use it everytime I work on my SVO

Rob how many times have you had your svo on the dyno?

Just two trips total, one a month before the reunion last year 278 rwhp and the two runs at the reunion. a tune up kit from forced 4 and a little fresh gas with octane booster made a big change. This year I hope to lean the mixture a bit and see what happens!

Rob, lets see pics of your engine and what mods do you have or maybe a reference link to a previous thread?

J Turbo did a really good job on the last newsletter. see getting into the 300 club story there.
there were pictures and a spec sheet. All the Dyno sheets are in the members only area of the forum. Another plus to being a member. Or look in the members rides under 84's and Rob Wagner #0066 (there a few upgrades since then)
Hope this helps

Aw man, i was afraid you'd say that. I don't know WHY i havent joined yet??? Its not even expensive. I guess since i read in the requirements some time ago that you had to attempt to come to the reunion and i know its so far away that i'd never go hence not putting in my part.

I no what you mean. I lived in CA for the first two reunion's then moved to KY and broke down in 2000 and didn't make it. There is a few guys that fly in and If my memory is correct a guy once drove from Washington (the state) The reunions are worth the effort and expence.
If you join most of the newsletters for the last few years are still available on line

I have a box of old newsletters that the prior owner gave me. One was about why one window may roll up slower than the other. Not sure if the previous owner was a club member, he had 2 SVOs (86 1B and my 85 1B) and 2 XR4tis (one white) and lived in Arcata, CA (Humbolt County , yeayaya!) His name is Sunny Higbee.

Some have suggested that he's also involved with life forms on other planets.

[turbizzy]
