Checking in from Afghanistan

Unknown

I thought I would just check in. I have been reading the summary

messages everyday, but our Army network won't let me pull up

Yahoogroups. I am on our Recreation computers now, but there is

usually a line.



I am stationed at FOB Lightning in Gardez Afghanistan as the J6 for

the Regional Command. The J6 for you non-Army types is the

data/communications guy. I am responsible for all the communications

in our provinces of Ghazni, Paktika, Paktia and Khowst. Other than

being extremely busy, I am extremely bored. All work and no play

makes Jack a dull boy.



Before I left I was able to send my speedometer, both my 1917 and

1929 carburators and my wood wheels off to be repaired. I have not

heard back from any of them other than the speedometer guy.



One thing I have been meaning to ask. The intake (left) side of my

1917 block is cracked. Right next to the carburator (to the right) it

is cracked around the freeze plugs. Do you think that is fixable? I

thought it could be welded. What is behind that, is it the intake

manifold space?



I would also be interested in the heads if they would fit my car. I

haven't pulled mine yet, but it doesn't hurt to have an extra.
