Here's a thread on the NCRS board with valuable input from some pretty experienced and knowledgeable people:

Do I detect a slight touch of sarcasm?

That thread is a bunch of non-answers. Reminds me of the air filter / oil filter / engine oil "discussions".

If I could post that picture of the "beating a dead horse", I sure would.

Have a great day, and thanks for sharing.

Sorry to see you've got such a suspicious nature. I thought some people here would be interested in what others have to say - even if it contradicts the popular opinion.

Vettehead Mikey been doin that for years over hear - - he goes to another forum where they worship original spare tire air just to get their 1-dimensional 'gospel' for the purpose of regurgitatin it over here for us bubbas . He argues over this information like it's religion while all he's doin' is regurgitatin' it from somewhere else. He's great at repeating others information from another forum website but where's the original information based on experience?

Whip a dead horse? This dude brings a new meaning to the term!

Don't ya get the feelin' we're just a bunch a inexperienced ignorant #@$@s in need of some schoolin?

Default OK, time for the truth-

I posted this simply to see if pgtr was still trolling the 'boards and what it would take to bring him out of hiding. I honestly missed his unique style of personal insults. 9 hours and 2 minutes, not bad.

It seems that all is right with the world and I can rest easy tonight.

Some of you guys really need to chill. Jeeze.

So let me make sure I got this right...

You "posted this simply to see if pgtr was still trolling" and to see "what it would take to bring him out of hiding."

And you think I am the one trolling? Goodness gracious man - do you even have an inkling as to what trolling is?

The difference here is that I actually know that people don't give a flip.

Now I'm confused. You stated above you hatched this scheme to start this thread and got the exact results you predicted and NOW you tell us we need to chill? That was part of the plan too right? Despite your indications to the contrary I've NEVER personally insulted anyone here including yourself. But let me ask you a personal question: Are you retired by chance and have way too much time on your hands?

Nor am I clear what you find personally insulting here. You do in fact frequent that other forum and you do in fact depend, seemingly excusively, upon it for the content you post here. Content that is posted in a specific, perhaps calculated manner to bait others over inane and thoroughly beaten topics. Youre great at picking apart other's posts here when they don't jive with your other club board. But is that the whole story? Can't you offer your own info? How about that rumour you started about GM discontinuing the AC 45 plugs?

Can you feel the love? I sure can.

It's AC44, not 45.

What I really found interesting, is that a big block and small block take the same plug. Having never owned or worked on a BB, I would have thought they'd be different plugs. I prefer the regular AC's just like the factory uses. I never cared for Champions, I've had them go bad overnight. I even have AC's in my Harley - same size.
