Anyone near Racine WI?

Looking for a hand to help me convert my car back from carb to CFI. (I think I have all the parts.)

Will provide beer and food. If you have kids, I will even provide playmates and a water slide. Yes, a waterslide (pictured below.) My kids are (almost) 6 (girl) and 4 (boy).

If not:
If you have an 84 that you can stop by with so I can look under the hood to verify a few things that would be great as well.

I am just north of the Vulcan quary.

I appreciate any help.

Carbed on a straight rebuild (how I bought it, have all the parts for CFI)
No built
Nope
Orig motor, CFI removed.

Isn't Racine famous for some sort of pastry that looks like a race track?

OK, in addition to beer and food on the grill, I will also get a (fresh) kringle.

C'mon, that has to garner some interest.

thanks man ... I'm gonna order one of these! Oh maybe a 82 owner can help you with some of your CFI questions, was the same engine at any rate minus serpentine belt drive. I can take you a picture of the cfi system on my 82 if you need a reference picture.

As for the slide, it is a blast. I bough a 350 GPH tranfer pump for $50 and used that to run the water cannons and "shower" for the slide portion. I still have to rig up a better filter to keep the debris out of the lines, but it really saves on having the hose running non-stop.

It is even rated to 400 pounds, so that a none-too-small guy like myself can go on it as well.

Yeah, that's it, a kringle! I worked in Rockford IL for a while and once in a while a guy that was from Racine would bring in a kringle. Seems Racine was the ONLY place to get one.

too bad I live too far away and I don't have an 84, I would definately be there!!
