I'm correcting myself. While Chevy may have mated small block V-8s to TBI in the 80s and 90s, Olds was doing it to their 350s when borrowed to power the traditional looking Seville of 1975 +. I just saw a late 70s Seville this pm and though about this. (Chevy also did it to their Vortec 4.3 V6 which is an exact 75% slice of their 5.7, or 350). At any rate, I can never think of any time a PMD V8 was hooked up to TBI from the 70s onward. An idea for a thread would be the visual cues to distinguish each division's motors - say the 350s from Chevy, Olds, Pontiac and Buick...aside from any obvious labels on the air intake assembly.

Sandra Bullock is now 40 and still looks good. I saw this awful movie on the plane with her in it ... called "The Lake House."She doesn't look like anybody else...maybe, just maybe, somewhat like Jessica Walter (when she was younger, of course). All the blonde bimbos look alike to me (Pamela Anderson, Cameron Diaz, Heather Locklear...all of them...I couldn't even tell them apart). Chicks like that who have made it as well as those who are waiting in the wings were a dime-a-dozen in So. Cal.

No. The other threads are more combative. You've had your turn.

litigious also means someone is basically quarrelsome and a troublemaker...typically, it is legal in nature, but it doesn't have to be! Cheers, razor!

That corner of the world is so 'effin litigious...it's the wiring. And it has been that way for thousands of years. The people of that area are so mercurial. We ain't dealing with Norway, you know....

Thanks, Chris.

OK, this has turned the tide toward religion. I'm a loosely practicing Catholic (it suits me better than do the other religions). I've always thought that the clergy should be allowed to marry. It would increase the number called to that vocation who may have avoided it because of the celibacy requirement, would proportionately decrease the number of those who are in it for the "wrong" reason and would equalize the Catholic church with the other Christian denominations where this is allowed -- even the closest kin, which is the Greek Orthodox church, where their clergy can marry. Still, through 16 years of Catholic school, I've never encountered any "problems," as most of the religious people (and most of the teachers/profs were actually lay people) were there to help me and educate me. I'd like to think they did a good job. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. However, I will add that some of the religious people were slightly "odd," for whatever that's worth.

Typical a-hole always on the lookout for "clues"...just as I pointed out in a previous post.

salutations!
