bubba,
I was going to stay completely away of saying anything regarding your comments. As one who was the recipient of your "Criticism Light", "Who Cares".... "I don't", I thought it best to not knee-jerk react, ust let it go. And you had a point, although, it seems hypocritical of you to state that a thread is too "techy" and to "lighten-up". I try to contribute where I can with some specific knowledge based on actual experience, not conjecture, speculation or self perceived humor. Humor is great except when it's nothing more than criticism. You may be right, what I had to say regarding the torque of a 390GT vs. a 428CJ is useless and inane.
What motivated me to say something here was your helpful comment regarding the Holley choke issue. You offered a real possible solution to this person. It was just one possibility but definitely viable. Your advice got me to thinking that you're not some guy with too much time on his hands. You actually have something to offer besides appointing yourself as the thread-post enforcement officer scanning through each thread, then following up with a witty quip of unasked for advice which is nothing more than criticism.
I thought I knew a lot about the FE engine when I first discovered this forum over three years ago. I was wrong. I've learned numerous specific helpful facts, features about the Ford big block. Some things I read I find redundant thus it's easy to just move on. There are always going to be things that hvae been discussed to death that come up from new posters. A good example was with the question regarding oil restriction- Edelbrock heads. Mr. F's response was perfect in that link would provide everything a person should need to know about that subject.
To sum up my point here, if you like the FE, great, hang around and offer useful advice based on actual experience. This has been an excellent forum to get help, share some knowledge and experiences with the mighty Ford Edsel. |
