It was great to attend and even better to see everyone again. You're right, there were definitely some folks that were missed this year. Andy, you two did a great job of organizing things again this year. Our whole crew of misfits had a blast again this year. As soon as we know the date, I'll be sur...

A lot of your issue with flaring up is because zippo fluid is a form of naphtha, just like Coleman fuel.

AMEN!!!

rob_pontius

Wait until everything is lined up and in place before tightening the generator nut also.

rob_pontius

Nice cans, John. Lol. I have the blue campers can, but I've never seen the Morheat can.

rob_pontius

That's rough.

rob_pontius

That was a bad leak. It's been leaking for quite a while. There's no easy fix for that kind of damage. The only right way to fix that is to replace the sidewall. If you don't, it'll rot from the inside. How old is your 5th wheel, Mike.

That Zebco was meant to be, Cal. The J.C. Higgins is great, but the Zebco would've excited me more if I had the rest of that set sitting at home. That's a set that I would love to find.

rob_pontius

I may be able to stop and pick up 6 of each for you, Moses.

rob_pontius

That last one is a good one, Wayne.

rob_pontius

Nice.

rob_pontius

Both of those places look like my kind of place to be. I'm not a drinker, but I love the decor.

rob_pontius

They’ve really been worse than usual this year. Amazon will deliver the package and send you a pic of where they put it. USPS can tell you that at some point it might have been in Ohio. Agreed. I had a fuel filter for my son's truck marked as delivered on September 11th. It didn't actually show up ...

rob_pontius

I might be your guy. I'm not far from you, in Elkhart Indiana. We have a collector's gathering this weekend in Kendallville.

rob_pontius

That thing is sweet. Congrats.

rob_pontius

It's great that you'll be able to make it, Mike. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone. I made my reservation and paid for the weekend a few weeks ago.

Same here, John. The big clamshell case is the only thing that I've found so far. I've settled on a very nice 1977 Armstrong mil-spec as my birthday lantern.

rob_pontius

Same goes for mine. I'm looking for a 10-77.

rob_pontius

You might be on to something, Jim. I know that those aren't anywhere near all of them that he's had. I remember him saying that he's had over 2 dozen of them. I'm right on the other side of the border in Indiana. I have 5 of them, all found locally. I need to get a picture of mine to add here.

rob_pontius

That's going to be a tough one to find. I'd love to find one with that date also, it's my dad's birthday lantern. I wish you luck in your search.

rob_pontius

That looks great, Dave. Do you have Dean DeGroff's number? He may have one. More than likely, he'll be at Gordon's too.

rob_pontius

I agree on it being a Hoppe's case.

rob_pontius

Oh no. I hope that everything turns out ok, Greg.

rob_pontius

Darn good price on that one.

rob_pontius

That looks great to me. I like those types of meals on the thicker side myself.

rob_pontius

That looks like a great weekend to me. I love playing with old outboards also.

rob_pontius

That's how I do it as well, Duane. A sudden jolt and they pop free.

rob_pontius

Nice work, Moses. I like that.

rob_pontius

Wow! I've never seen one of Mike's tools break before. That check valve must be really stuck and a ton of force applied. I hope that you get that valve out of there.

rob_pontius

That's awesome, Greg.

rob_pontius

That's a nice stove at a great price.

rob_pontius

I've seen it before, but the lantern looked like it had been dropped and landed on the pump. Or possibly the air tube was plugged and someone smacked the pump with a mallet to force the plug out. The paint was cracked around the pump tube.

rob_pontius

I also like the natural look.

rob_pontius

It looks good and hot to me. I'm glad that you decided to keep it in it's original form. I'm pretty sure that you would've regretted it later, had you changed it and sold off the parts.

rob_pontius

I fill mine once every two weeks or so with frequent use. Evaporation isn't really a big deal with them because it is very minimal as long as the hinge is still in good shape.

rob_pontius

There was another one that sold last week on the bay for $240.00. they had a centennial and a heritage that sold for the same price. Both were new in the box.

rob_pontius

It looks like someone modified the base and put the wrong reflector on it at some point. The right reflector has small fingers that go into those slotted holes.

rob_pontius

I just looked at the specs for that cam. That's one heck of a cam. Not the biggest that I've seen, but definitely up there. A cam that big will definitely lower the ability to make good vacuum. An electric vacuum pump may be necessary for that one. I also agree with the use of roller rockers.

rob_pontius

Not a bad deal, Cal. Congrats.

rob_pontius

We call it heat lightning as well. That is a pretty dramatic show in the video though. I could watch that all night long.

rob_pontius

Hey Levi. Here's a question for you that hasn't been asked yet. Do you have a check valve on your brake booster? It should have one where the vacuum hose enters the booster. If that's a fresh engine, and the timing and carb are set correctly, you should have no problem pulling 18-20 inches of vacuum...

rob_pontius

I've used it many times in a pinch. The biggest difference that I've noticed is that CF evaporates much faster than the lighter fluid.

rob_pontius

That thing is awesome. It's the first one that I've seen. I never knew that they existed. Congrats on a really cool find.

rob_pontius

Welcome back, Levi. It's awesome to see you getting into real cars and not the ricers that most of our youth are into. My oldest son and I just started on a 1981 Dodge Ram D-150 that has a summit racing 400 big block crate engine in it. You have a few areas to look into regarding the lack of power. ...

rob_pontius

The 202 is definitely one of my favorites.

rob_pontius

Definitely not a burgundy 200a. Yes, the date is 8-62, which is later than the burgundy version. It went way beyond what I would ever spend also.

rob_pontius

I noticed that also. I thought that I was doing good with 13 of them. That picture made me drool.

rob_pontius

I believe that what you're looking for is the model 5122 with an adapter for using a bulk propane tank. They have the dark green bottom and light (almost white) vent.
