NEW TORSION BARS

PETER HUBER

  a1huber@prodigy.net

 1

I have received quite a few commitments from my GMC friends to purchase the
new Torsion Bar set. However I could not come up to the value of 40 sets as
of today. If any of you are still interested to commit to a set of new,
stronger Torsion bars I might be able to negotiate with the manufacturer a
deal with lower amounts of production for the same price. The price will be
$ 800.00 plus shipping cost.

I had nothing but good satisfactory replies who bought the previous 30 set
of T.Bs.

The present T.B. will be the same as before, stronger by 19% and the hex
will be extended 1" per Ken Henderson's recommendation..

There will be no sales tax, since Jim Hupy will take over and drop ship out
of Oregon.

If you want a set of new Torsion Bars let me know now. Contact me directly
for your commitment on or before October 10, 2014.

I will participate at the GMCWS Fall Rally in Manteca, CA (Oct. 1-6, 2014)
And you can also talk to me regarding the new stronger Torsion Bars.

This will be my the final attempt to round up GMC friends with Torsion Bar
problems.

Greeting to all you great GMCers.
Best regards
Peter D. Huber

MSD's Atomic EFI Receives Distinctive CARB Exemption Status

(AT LEAST ONE GMCer HAS CHECKED)

(AND FOUND THE GMC MOTORHOME

 DOES NOT QUALIFY)

	MSD Performance's Atomic Fuel Injection System.

MSD Performance's Atomic Fuel Injection System was granted an Executive Order Number from the California Air Resources Board. The E.O. Number signifies that the Atomic aftermarket EFI system is legal on ’87-and-older GM vehicles in California.

The Atomic EFI system received E.O. Number D-722 which permits the system to be installed in place of the factory carburetor on ’87-and-older GM passenger cars and trucks originally powered by a V8 engine. This Executive Order also means the Atomic EFI system provides "reasonable basis" for satisfying the anti-tampering requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act, thus allowing its use in all other states.

During thorough testing it was confirmed that the Atomic system did not reduce the effectiveness of the applicable vehicle pollution control systems and therefore was granted an exemption from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code for ’87-and-older General Motors passenger cars and pickups originally equipped with a V8 engine and carburetor. MSD will supply an information label with the E.O. Number and details that must be affixed on the vehicle for inspection purposes.

Thanks,

Gary and Joanne Worobec

Orders David

I have 2 of these and keep one plugged into the dash socket of the GMC. Shows battery status when the motor is off and charging status when running. Inexpensive and has a large, easy to read back lit display that also pivots for best viewing angle. $15 at Amazon.

  - go down if house battery is low

  - 

-------------------------

CHECK YOUR HOUSE CHARGER

* DO YOU HAVE A HOUSE CHARGER

* IS IT A BUZZ BOX

* WHAT IS A  BUZZ BOX

* IS IT CHARGING ALL YOUR BATTERY BANKS

* WHAT VOLTAGE IS IT CHARGING

* #! TURN EVERYTHING OFF- (over night)

* UNPLUG THE GMC ( TURNS OFF THE CHARGER)

*  READ METER - JOT DOWN THE ENGINE BATTERY VOLTAGE

* PUSH THE "BOOST" SWITCH TO READ THE HOUSE AND ENGINE BATTERY VOLTAGE

* PLUG IN THE GMC
