If this is out of line, let me know and I will delete it.
John L is bringing me a carb I am buying from him. Would it be OK if we had a few of us install it on my truck while at the jamboree or the park?

I think that would be an excellent Idea!!
Jerry will be there to show you a lot of things about it.
Heck with the show and the food, let's get our hands dirty!
Bring what tools you think you will need and I'll have some also.

What say you Jerry?

If you just park the trucks and stare at them, it's just a cruise-in or a ... gasp ... show. *anybody* can do *that*

Getting the gang together for a wrenching fest is what these Stovebolt Gatherings are all about. It's what the Homecoming event is based on. It would get boring quick if all we did was sit around scratching our butts and staring at each other ....

I don't know why anyone would have issue with that. I'm sure that at the fair grounds or the State park you would just need to insure you don't leave a mess.

PS: I always carry my wrecking yard tool box.

Cool! I'll bring my tools and a tarp to lay underneath my truck. I have a canopy so we can work in the shade.

Don't forget there's gonna be 1200 other old Chevy trucks there. And you know what they say about old trucks, once you've seen one old truck you pretty much want to see them all.

Sounds like a winner- - - -Since the jamboree is scheduled in between cataract procedures, I might be working one-eyed, but I still bet I'll be able to read a voltmeter, and do other electrical-related stuff! I'll bring some test equipment along with my micrometers.
