What a cool story Wedge, did you ever do any shows in Reno, Nv.?
I used to was the house sound and lighting tech, from '97 to '03, at Lawlor Events Center/University of Nevada.

I've been to Reno many times... but I retired in 1994 after I was lucky enough to obtain a compression fracture of my L4-L5 and 3 ruptured discs. Did it at Bally's in Vegas when I replaced a hand lifting a Gamble EX56. I worked for Sound Image in San Marcos, CA. My last tour was as the monitor engineer for the Band on the Jericho tour a few years before Danko died. My new joke is I used to mix bands, now I mix paint... I work 3 days a week at the local Ace hardware store as the dept manager. It gives me something to do... and a good way to keep in touch with whats happening in my rapidly expanding town.
Stories... yeah... a few...

I would just LOVE to read some more of those!!
I was at the '84 (I believe??) show of Motley Crue in Vancouver. Those guys really really know how to kick out a show. They were here recently, but we missed it, much to my chagrine.

So is that a 245hp motor?
Wedge
10/21/2007 3:12:16 PM
Well, by the posted rating 275... but chevy changed the way they rated hp in 72 for the 73 year. Up until 73 they rated gross at the crank, and to appease the rule makers changed it to rear wheel (incidently... the same as the other big 2). The 73 was actually closer to 360 hp with a posted 395 ft lbs of torque. You kind of had to read between the lines to get there... hard to produce 395 ft lbs at the rear wheels with 275 at the crank...

sorry for the typo , I meant 345hp. Yea I know they had to please DOT by lowering ratings. But a BB is a BB , right? Cant beat cubic inch for fun! My Indian Chief is a 100 cu.in and my CMC,S&S is a 88" Both aare plenty fast but love my Indian!

Know what'cha mean... he said knowingly...nod nod wink wink... mines a 1987 full custom FXLRC 96" with a 40 deg rake wide glide. Seat sits just below my knee...'bout 23" off the pavement. 102 hp with shaved flywheels built by HeadQuarters in Canada. Almost too much to hang on to.

92 C4 very stock, with LT1 and 6 speed. Lots of miles on it, but a good looking, good driving car with everything working. I suppose there are more C4's than anything else because more of us can afford them, and the folks that are not real mechanically inclinde do not have to restore them yet.

Just bought my ''93 40th anniversary red on red. Still under 90,000 miles and runs fantastic. Im getting around 19.6mpg driving to campus and back and all that. Got to drive the car on a small 300 mile jaunt to Nashville. Most enjoyably 3 hours, 17 minutes of my life.
