Early Christmas for Randysgal - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*Randy70C-10* · 06-15-2004, 07:41 PM

I just thought I'd show off what arrived today, she's still at work and hasn't even seen them yet. The carburetor is a Barry Grant 725 Demon (big enough for the ZZ-3?

) and a Powermaster starter that only weighs 8 pounds! Ain't it cute?

*Randy70C-10* · 06-15-2004, 07:42 PM

BTW, I'm going out to work on her truck now.

mikeoj · 06-15-2004, 08:00 PM

Ain't dat purdy!!lol

Blue Beard · 06-15-2004, 08:02 PM

You kissing up or spoiling her....?

**JIMs70GMC** · 06-15-2004, 08:56 PM

Sounds like both! LOL!

krue · 06-15-2004, 09:11 PM

And to think, my wife always wants flowers.

*Randy70C-10* · 06-15-2004, 09:39 PM

I was kissing up. She said that I haven't worked on her truck for three weeks, so now I have three more weeks to screw off.

barn9 · 06-15-2004, 11:52 PM

Randy, now that you are done kissing up, how about some details on that starter? Hehee!

69 Short Fleet · 06-16-2004, 02:07 AM

Cool parts... must be love (lol)

70c10 · 06-16-2004, 07:14 AM

Nice lookin' carb Randy!. I like mine. Best looking carb on the market IMO. I heard the 750 Speed Demon's work pretty good on a ZZ3.

68C15 · 06-16-2004, 07:21 AM

Randy you are a wonderful husband & you have a good wife if she expects you to work in shop. I am sooo jealous.
although my wife bought me an engine for X-mas.
BTW those starters are also available new from AC DElco for around $150 retail. we use them all the time on older motorhomes & med. duty trucks

70ChevyLongbed · 06-16-2004, 08:07 AM

Sweet parts Randy, but you can't really start strechin' Christmas out this far, can you?

*chevytruckfan* · 06-16-2004, 08:42 AM

It must be love. I cant afford to put parts like that on my truck much less on a womans truck. Some day though I will find a woman worthy of that kind of affection.

Bill72BB · 06-17-2004, 01:04 AM

Hey Randy ; you didn't get caught in one of those Kobie Bryant kinda things did you ?

Hope you didn't get the motherinlaw a something also ?

krazy_texan · 06-17-2004, 03:55 PM

something like that sounds like you have recently been int trouble

dubie · 06-17-2004, 03:59 PM

Nah, he's just one of them "worship the ground your wife walks on" kinda guy , just like me

I can hardly wait till I can shop for truck parts for Shawnas truck and give them as gifts

*Randy70C-10* · 06-17-2004, 10:53 PM

Well let me tell ya, they sure go over better than the vacuum cleaner I got her one year.

Quagmire · 06-17-2004, 10:56 PM

yeah, that carb is sexxy, but my headers would fry that starter with a couple good nights of cruising
