era427tp Fellow ERA brother, if you read the top I didn't forget about Dove. I just think that to wait 10 months for a single plane MR manifold and drive out there 2 times at 400 miles each way is a little MUCH. It's a Damn Shame that Earl and Jim can't got there SH$T togeather and build parts without the flood story being told over and over and over etc,
Jim is and engineer and Earl is a salesman. Neither one has a any idea as how to manufactor parts for production. He has new forge, CNC machines, new molds, and workers that are paid with beans and chilli.
The 2nd time I was there, one of the cnc machinists didnot install a blank manifold in the hold down plate correctly and destroyed the bit and the manifold in 3 seconds. There was 5 casting in the garabage barrel to get melted back down and forged again. Can you deal with the possiablities of what the wait would be for any of the other FE parts he sells?
As far as I can see, he is into building rockers for different motors, like Chevys, aluminium bodies and roller tips. It's the same old story, A ship without a capt. to steer it.
