    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

It seems my megaphone is too loud for a lot of people. I have grown accustomed to it.

Well, I pulled the baffles today and lo and behold the PO took al the packing out of it. Yay Me!! :evil:


I just got this thing running like a top. So, my question is:

If I repack the Vance and Hines will I have to rejet or will this be so insignificant that it won't really matter? And what may I have to do if I do repack it?

BTW: I did search but everyone seems to have a different opinion.

The only good way to tell is to repack it

My 79 didn't need any carb changes once I put a packed baffle in it (it was open)
 
That's kinda what I figured. That I wouldn't know until I tried it.

I'm off to the store.
 
Well. I guess it was running lean before. It seems to be even better now.
