Those look great, AK. Are they Pace Setters? I don't remember if you said which headers you were buying.

I put these up yesterday.... actually, just one of them is permanent because the basement isn't quite ready yet..... BUT, it looks like these need the Omada controller to go with them. They work much better than my router does already, and I am not even using them to their full capability yet. I ran a bunch of CAT6 throughout the house yesterday, and got my network panel started. Just a bunch of cables right now, mostly, LOL.




Then I also built this piece of duct out of a flat piece of duct, shears, and a hammer, LOL. I'm not sure why home builders don't put a cold air return in basements - it is much more efficient.

For your enjoyment.... but not so much enjoyment when you are framing with it.

The headers are actually Pacesetters. I thought they were BBK, but that was just the gaskets in the box he added and what he was calling them when I picked them up. I guess I could have been a little more observant, but for the price and how great they looked, I didn't look. Ohio, the box says Ceramic coated. I never looked at the name, just the gaskets. Hell, I was just making sure they fit correctly, not their brand at the moment. Besides I had the BBK name implanted at the time. LOL

I need to have Whitey come up and set up my place with all kinds of electronic equipment too. You do nice work dude.

Thank you AK! I went to hang my lights downstairs today, and every friggin one of them is bent. Back to Amazon they go. I am impatient, so I might just go get some at Lowes or HD. I want to start sheet rock next weekend. I need 2 more rolls of R15 to finish insulation. I read the bag wrong.... I thought they were 60 square feet, but 30.

Just got back from my Buddy's house. He is the Fox Body guy of Utah. You need it, he has it. I got some valve covers from him for the 351. While I was there, I looked at his 86 Capri with a 351. It touched the hood... but where he is hitting I think I can avoid because he is using an Explorer intake (full size) and mine is the box style. Anyway... made me feel good to see one done up. Gave me some smiles for sure.

I'm glad you said that. Makes me feel not so alone. I read that box and was thinking the Pacesetter name was a model of BBK because of the gaskets. Oh well, maybe glasses will help. Nah. I need to start drinking I guess. I remember so much stuff when I was drunk lol

Do you need bolts for those VC's, White? I still have the set of ARP's that were too short when I swapped to the fox covers and 5/16" gaskets. If you'll be using thin gaskets, these might work.

I don't know how many of you guys do this, too, but I add this lable to just about every piece of equipment I have. I do it for tire pressures on various things, too. Quite a time saver.



And yes, I know it's filthy again.

LOL, glas I could make you feel better. I'm going to have to read the other bags when I go back. I swear I read 60 square feet on something there, LOL.

I do, actually. They are one of the sets o' bolts I have not purchased yet. My gaskets are the same steel core gaskets that Ford switched to on the Explorers.

EDIT: Put the valve covers in a bath! If this doesn't work well, my Buddy called me yesterday and said he got his new hot tank up and running. I'm sure I can talk him into throwing them in there.
