THE PRESENTERS ARE THERE FOR YOU AND TO GIVE YOU VALUABLE AND UPDATED INFORMATION AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. IT IS GETTING VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THE PRESENTERS TO COME AND PARTICIPATE WHEN NO ONE SHOWS UP FOR THEIR PRESENTATION. EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT THAT INTERESTED IN THE TOPIC THAT IS BEING PRESENTED, EVERY MEMBER SHOULD ATTEND THE SEMINAR OUT OF COURTESY AND RESPECT AND TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR THE PERSON WHO IS GIVING UP THIER TIME TO PRESENT THE INFORMATION TO YOU. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU MIGHT LEARN!” See you all on Tuesday, February 14th! DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS EVENT!

BradHend Posted December 10, 2022 Posted December 10, 2022 Really wish I could attend this year. Unfortunately I am STILL waiting/looking for an exhaust manifold for my 5.9 ISB. Nobody has one, not even in the used or salvage sectors that I’ve tried. 1
Scotty Hutto Posted December 10, 2022 Author Posted December 10, 2022 Paul, thanks for posting the salvage yard info, but I moved the post regarding salvage yards that may have a manifold to the Engine topic. Trying to keep this thread focused on the Gathering. 1 1
