    My block is drained, right?

    Mike, do you have a portable air tank? sometimes you can blow air into the port to clear out the debris the cylinder wall is only about 3/4" into the drain port. a bent wire can be fed in and turned. dont think I ever had a motor that didnt drain by probing with a wire.

    My block is drained, right?

    how far in did you push the wire. there is usually a layer of sand/gravel/rust/dead fish in the bottom of the water jackets that you have to break up to get water out the drain plugs.

    my issue with aftermarket Holley EFI fuel systems is that they are only supported for about 5-8 years after they are sold...... then its so sorry, you must buy a new system. Been that way for nearly 30 years going back to the 2DI and 4DI pro-jection systems of the 90s. Its not just holley...

    Turkey's are coming for you

    My last house in Wisconsin had my basement office window at ground level. the Jakes and Toms would come to the window and beat on it for my attention. I think it was like a trip to the zoo for them some feed corn on the back hill would keep them away from the windows..... also made it easier...

    Could I use isolator to charge AGM battery

    a half-way decent DC to DC smart charger is about $175. probably less during a black friday deal. Physically the size of a sandwich. a DC to DC charger is effectively a DC to AC inverter, then a AC to DC charger all in a single box. you can get a separate inverter and a regulated output...
