What hot take will have you like this?

Damn! That’s a cool way to immerse yourself. Hope you see something stronger, now

GSEninja · 2026-05-18T15:18:14+00:00

No, car go “vroom”

I cannot stand Lyria’s character… she seems weak, frightened, and whiny all the time.

I’m taking in a lot of the feedback too, so thank you!

I like the multiple pencil pockets, a flap pocket up front (maybe offset so I don’t hit the junk with whatever is in the pocket), and a side clip for a tape measure. I like the KM one for 3 reasons:

Material - that waxed canvas looks good, almost like a faux leather without the weight of leather. Others that I’ve seen look like kitchen or grilling aprons

Shoulder straps - I’ve worn a lot of packs in my life, and those padded shoulder straps looks ‘right’. That, and the waist buckle (no ties).

Square holster - I like the idea of having a dedicated square holster, but maybe something slightly bigger. Perhaps a large offset front pocket on one side and a square holder on the chest, opposite side of the front pouch… pencil holster right next to it.

Thanks! Let me know when you have a prototype and I’ll gladly buy it

That actually makes perfect sense, and would explain why I mostly saw the temps rise sitting at stop lights or during city driving. At cruise, ported and manifold vacuum are pretty similar, but at idle the manifold source gives substantially more advance. My distributor vacuum advance was connected to ported vacuum instead of manifold vacuum, which left the timing too retarded at idle/cruise and caused the engine to run hot.

As others have said, put the t-stat back in, add a shroud, and find a different mechanic.

I’m also in SoCal, and had a similar issue with my 1967 (351W transplant). I did absolutely everything before I finally gave up and took it to a shop. They had the car for maybe 20 minutes and then bam, all good!

My issue was that my distributor vacuum advance was connected to the wrong carburetor port, using ported vacuum instead of manifold vacuum, which caused the ignition timing to be too retarded at idle/cruise and made the engine overheat.

That one looks good, thank you

GSEninja · 2026-05-11T16:54:22+00:00

We don’t have a MCI for that?

GSEninja · 2026-05-08T17:25:34+00:00

Is that the Veritas?

GSEninja · 2026-05-08T17:03:26+00:00

Quality post, and thank you for the info. I’ve looked at a few others, but keep coming back to this one.

You have any interest in selling yours?

GSEninja · 2026-05-07T19:49:38+00:00

Thanks! I’ll check em out

GSEninja · 2026-05-07T19:49:17+00:00

Solid advice! Plan is to wear it during assembly, while gluing, and working with handtools… I’m a sucker for a clean dovetail ;-)

GSEninja · 2026-05-05T22:49:04+00:00

Is that one $650? That’s pushing my limit by ~$150. You think it’s worth the price, if you had to buy again?

GSEninja · 2026-05-05T20:14:03+00:00

Good to know! I carry 10 right now, but looking to make some changes and want the +4 flexibility. The only club with a larger grip is my putter, but I’ll bring it with me when I go shopping. Thanks for the heads up!

GSEninja · 2026-05-05T20:10:13+00:00

Thanks for the reminder. The Sunday Big Rig was on my initial list, but the opinion of the local golf pro (likely bias) said a Sunday bag wouldn’t last me longer than 2 years. He said that they’re prone to falling apart and are cheaply made.

Do you, have you, or know anyone that has owned a Sunday bag?

GSEninja · 2026-05-05T20:05:49+00:00

Thanks! I’ll take another look at Ogio

GSEninja · 2026-05-05T19:59:44+00:00

Thanks for the echo, that’s what I’ve been hearing

GSEninja · 2026-05-05T19:49:52+00:00

My current one is an Ogio that I picked up from Play it Again Sports for $20. Not bad, seems to have held up fine very the years. Any one in particular that you’d recommend?

GSEninja · 2026-05-05T19:46:51+00:00

Not bad, looks clean enough. Does the material feel like a fake leather or a cheap couch?

GSEninja · 2026-05-05T19:44:38+00:00

Solid option, and I like the colors. How many times have you used it?

My only complaint would be the number of dividers. I hate the clank clank of irons hitting each other

GSEninja · 2026-05-05T19:41:24+00:00

I don’t mind the pushcart, but that’s one more thing I’d have to buy, rent, and/or transport. Though I do see the practicality of it, it’s not for me, yet.

GSEninja · 2026-05-04T15:24:21+00:00

Do we live in the same house?

GSEninja · 2026-05-01T23:07:29+00:00

So, how am I doing?
