Nice, I got to fight the war on two fronts now. You (:TMTT:) told me to put both leads under the PDC. You (:TMTT:) pointed out both posts, and said that it is a better place to hook up due to the fact that the wires would be under the cover protected. I HAVE WITNESSES!! :poke: One being the Junior Pontiff. He will never admit that now because after all, he is a DUMBASS :falldownlaugh:

[<T M T T>]

Aww for Fojpe sake,
Anyone who is anyone knows that black is ground on a 12V system. Both terminals under the PDC cover are "Red" or "Hot".

Hey everyone just thought id drop by and tell everyone here that the NEPA guys will be leaving PA at aprox 2 PM on Thursday. The time all depends on what time Mike (AKA Highfinance97) gets done runnining his Tastykake route :Paully6: . We were planning on running till we get there :warpig: because we should have at least 2 drivers per vehicle. Do if anyone is going to be leaving Conn. later then the guys on this post let me know if you want to hook up with the PA guys to roll to Indy.

Rob

[Jim]

What up rob!

Were going to be leaving around some ungodly hour of 5am or something, scranton is about 4 +/- hours from us so we will be cruising through your area around 10am. Im not sure but the upstate NY guys (dieseldummy + crew) are also coming down, but dont know what time.
Give me a call on sat when you guys are down there well hook up., Ill PM you my phone # I no longer have the nextel.
Is Michael gonna be pulling?

[6BT-Dakota]

I will Def. give you a call when we get in there. I got the pm of the oh number and yes Michael is going to be pulling at IRP.

[Jim]

All you have to do is take the I-465 South exit loop around and that will get to the road of your choice to get to IRP (ORP). If anyone has any questions about this I will be happy to answer them in a PM, Email ( gotdiesel@gmail.com ) or here. Let me know. -Jason

JUST TO ADD-

Try to get into town an hour before rush hour, and maybe 2 hours after it starts. Traffic is a *****. Both the top and bottom loops, the traffic is HEAVY. Has taken me over an hour :Paully6: to get through on the bottom side before, with the big truck.

The cops are sure busy handing out tickets.......................

I'll see you chowdaheads next Thursday. We should be rolling in around 3 or 4PM with lots of trucks and far too many cases of beer.

Matt - former MA resident for 24yrs.

[Jim]

Outstanding! Where are you staying at Matt?

[HoleshotHolset]

We're at the AmeriHost (or whatever the name is this year...) - a.k.a. "Party Central".

Apparently they have a new manager - I hope they'll like a fresh coat of rubber on their parking lot and streets surrounding the hotel. :coorslight:

I won't be laying any rubber this year - gotta keep the SBC Con FE in one piece for at least a few months after installing it. :smokin:
