One 6.5" Carillo on-center rod needed
Subject pretty much says it all.. I have one rod that won't repeat when we size it; we think it's because the dowels are loose and I'm ordering new dowels for it, but I'm not holding my breath.
I bought 3 Kryptonite 6.5" rods in hopes that they'd weigh close enough to the Carillos to use one, but they're 80 g. lighter..no go. Anybody got part of a blown up set? ![]()

Yessir... thanks!
If you're talking about Mac, I can give him a call as well. I got a lot done today; finished the head work and assembled them, resized the rods and fixed the f'ed up job that was done before. I was worried that they might not work out, but 5 of them look great (within 2 tenths). So all in all, I'm not displeased.

Blown up parts
Come on Kendal. Who do you know that has more blown up stuff than I do. Do you need the early style with the square shoulders on the rod end or the later one with the beveled edges. Give me a call if I can help. Ron

I'll call tomorrow. Heck, if I whine enough and get everybody to send me one, maybe I'll score a whole set!

Leash!!!!???
Neal you big plick!
I've got no leash, just a lot of responsibilites! I go where and do what I want whenever I want to! I eat when I'm hungry, I drink when I'm dry, and... oops. Gotta go... Really. I just got in Friday night around 9:30. Been doing manual labor today, preparing for the forecasted big storm coming up. 'Course, Neal, your not owning any land , you don't have to worry about things like that. Kendall, call me if you still need a rod. I think mine are narrow journal, though. (Something like .850 rings a bell. But I'll check.)

I have enough where I'd better be able to get one to work out..
Thanks to you and Rick Elam I have a couple of nice looking ones. I also bought a set of brand new off-centers locally just so I could get the guy to throw in some more on-centers. Several of them look like junk but at least I have more options.Over the holidays I worked on my GN some..the machinist who's been helping me took some time off. I am going back in Friday hopefully to finish the rods. How's your car doing? I suppose the snow has things shut down up there as far as racing. You working on the street rod?
