Nice rant, but I've seen better. I think it would be more productive to clarify your own statements.

I repeat. Please post an example of anything I've stated, along with your explanation of any errors it contains.

If you find more than one, we can handle them one at a time.


Did you forget the request you made? Maybe we can deal with this one first.

I cited two common issues, you couldn't even correctly ID a Crossfire intake - NEXT!!!!!!!

I'm not aware that I attempted to identify a Crossfire (correctly or incorrectly).

what the image doesn't suggest but should TELL is that Offy made cross ram intakes, this image you elludaed to as being a Cross-Fire, therefore you were W-R-O-N-G

Pick a new topic or drop it, it has been answerred. I cited 2 inherent issues and mentioned another common problem. If you CHOOSE to question my knowledge or experience .... then I suggest YOU go research it YOURSELF. I am not going to continue to debate that which I know with you and your ignorance.

As you requested, I'll keep the quotes to a minimum. In order to do that, I'll deal with your statements, one per post.

First is your change of the subject, which I'd call (for lack of a better term) a "Diversion".


Looks like you've hit on the core of your attitude problem.

Have I questioned your knowlege or experience? If so, in what context?

Lets be real here, I am not the one with the attitude. When I state something, it is something I know or I indicate I believe to be true. Often for your sake alone (because no one else challanges facts like you do). I will try and justify facts with a picture or a link (you and you alone will ask for it anyways - so who depends on the 'net for his information????). Everytime you question facts, is an indication of doubt, yet when you post your thoughts it is assumed that everyone should believe the crap that rolls off your finger tips (and believe me alot of it is crap). Now as for "diversions". Where that picture i requested of your "Offiand" 16 port "earlier" {but in the 80s which was 30 years after the debut of the} Corvette super-intake or has it changed to yet another brand? Does it come with a blinker fluid pre-heater too?

This subject has gone off topic please respond here

OK. Lets say (hypothetically) I misidentified the image of an intake manifold you posted.

Now lets say it doesn't make a bit of difference which manifold I correctly or incorrectly identified, because, (still, hypothetically) for purposes of this discussion, there is no difference between any of the Ram and/or Crossfire manifolds and the plenum design they all use will allow eight cylinders to run with one carb, or TB, inoperative.

Considering all the above, (hypothetically, of course). Wouldn't your statement about one dead bank be invalid?

But wasnt his point that offy made cross ram intakes and you claimed they didnt?

Maybe it would help if I rephrased the questions.


Did you describe them so completely and accurately, that you answered all possible questions anyone might have?


And the intake manifold was the sole cause? If so, I would think that would be how they would all run.


And didn't others do very well by buying those low, fixing them, and selling high?


Please elaborate.


So, you are saying, no one could make them run right because of the above?


Please explain how this occurred.

Hi andrewk, all,


That is the point he is still trying to make, even after I cleaned it up. He seems to be picking at the dead horse because he can't defend his own statements.

Any time you (or anyone else) find I made a mistake anywhere, please point it out so we can discuss and/or correct it.

Regards, Norm

geez, this dead horse has to be pretty well tenderized by now

I agree.

Please respond here



or do you have "liquid huevos"?

I will pick the time and place.

I'm done here.
