I'm glad to see Lars back on the forum!!! He has a wealth of knowledge that comes in handy all the time. Great to hear your up and about. By the way, your shop looks great! Nice bar, is there any dancing? LOL

Lars stopped by to visit and return some borrowed stuff this morning. I think he just needed a reason to get out of the house. He was driving his newly restored black '64 roadster. I could hear his Hooker supercomps coming from quite a distance.
Good to see him out and about.

I have this neat little program, Jing that lets me take a picture of whatever is on my screen and instantly sends it to a webpage so I can post it as a picture, like this:

Just getting back to the Forum myself and saw this thread. Great to hear you're doing so well after the surgery. I too am still driving with the carb you tuned for my 75 and haven't had to touch it. It's still running perfect. I hope you continue to get better and maybe even start your tuning tours again.

Didn't know Lars was down and out but he tuned my new Holley Street Avenger. Runs like a champ. Didn't have to do anything but plug and play.
Keep getting better and see you out on a beer drinking tour soon.

By the way:
How do you post up a dyno chart into a post so it can be seen in the body of the post without having to click on a link..? Do you first save to a .pdf file, or can the Excel chart be posted? I'd like to post up a Q-Jet versus Holley back-to-back dyno run when I go on the dyno in a few weeks, but I can't seem to figure out the chart posting - any help would be appreciated.
Lars i am glad you are feeling better i wish for you a speedy recovery....why not scan the dyno chart to make it a .jpg file and then save it on photo bucket and import the picture. if you dont have a photobucket account just send it to me and i will send you the image link. take care Bob

Get well Lars! I had lower back surgery 2 years ago so I feel your pain, literally. Same reason too - relieving a pinched siatic nerve. They put all kinds of neat titanium hardware in my spine so now when I go through an airport metal detector it always makes for an interesting afternoon. That type of surgery really takes a long time to heal, but worth it in the end (hopefully).

Glad you're doing better Lars. Haven't checked in for a while. I terribly miss your post here. I've tried following you on the other forums but I dont like their format as much. On a side note, do be very careful with pain medication. Many friends I know have become addicted. God bless you.

Let's see...just a few of the things that Lars has helped me with from 2000 miles away..
Setting up the choke on my Q-Jet
Fuel bowl issues with my Q-jet
Inital timing settings
Finding the correct vacuum can for my distributor and engine set up
Not to mention the numerous posts I've been able to get information from.
Lars, thank you and I'm sincerly glad to hear you're doing well. Next time I'm in CO, I'd like to meet and buy you a beer or two sir!!
