I can never sleep past like 7 after a night of drinking. Ugh.

Because alcohol is sugar and so are most mixers, when you go out drinking you're raising your blood sugar for a sustainable period and then abruptly stopping the sustenance (when you go to sleep).

Waking up at 7 is your body saying "What happened to the sugar party?" If you eat a tablespoon of peanut butter and a pint of milk or some other quick snack, you'll even that blood sugar out again and feel comfortable/sleepy again.

Eh, no problem. I spend 40 hours a week staring at all that poo poo. If I can help someone find what they need, I'm happy. Tracking down stuff for customers is the part of my job I enjoy. Like the dude looking for wheel cylinders on a '57 chevy tonight on a whim to see if restoring it will be worth it.

So far, the closest Oreilly doesn't have 'em, the second one was like "uuh I'll have to look it up and call you back" and the napa guy said "I've never heard of that" then put me on hold. Not looking good. :shobon:

I'll nab the part numbers we have on the shelf when I get back from lunch. Maybe they can figure out how to type the numbers in. Only reason I could see them not having a performance wall is some C.A.R.B. shenanigans.

Edit:
Part numbers and line codes:
12370 edb (edlebrock part, but supposed to be compatible with holley)
1509 mrg (mr gasket, owned by holley)
And 2 full rebuild kits with them
12750
12760

Hope it helps. :v

I was at work. She was here. She is fine. Cats are all fine. 99% of our property is fine. The fire was contained to out bathroom/laundry room. I had a lot of framed art on the walls in there. It is all destroyed. They're extracting the water now. Our deductible is $500 and I'd wager we'll be getting new carpeting in at least one room in addition to some drywall repairs in the bathroom.

Edit: Her grandmother gave her this doofy microwave cook pouch she bought off QVC or something. It's for baked potatoes or burritos I dunno. It's like a reusable version of a hot pocket sleeve. She used it and it remains cool to the touch so she put it aside and then saw it a bit gross so she tossed it in a laundry basket where I'm assuming the internal 400 degree temperature caused the fire.

Yeah, that's how it seems to work. We had a grease fire back when I was in high school from a malfunctioning stovetop. Only real burn damage was the hood microwave and the cabinets, but the water and smoke meant gutting most of the house.

Glad everyone is ok, and glad that you had renter's insurance. So many people get hosed when something happens and they suddenly find out that they get no help at all fixing poo poo because they didn't want to pay for (or didn't realize that the needed) renter's insurance.

The fire was over super quick. The sprinkler was active for a full 5 minutes and then it dripped for a long time while clean up commenced.
