Out of curiosity, how many of you still have an operating drop light that you use.
I have a couple that I think should work, but I have used an LED flashlight or LED drop light for years now.
I became tired of the cord being in the way and burning myself.

[oldbuck40]

And Here we go again LOL Seems Mother Nature is fixing to unload her wrath on us once again! was 37 leaving the house this morning and should drop below freezing this evening! I GOT ALL MY CHIT DONE! What bout the rest of ya?

 

[TexasJet]

Not supposed to freeze in Katy but got both blocks and headers drained in the boats. Officially done for the year.

 

[Patchman]

Yep, sounds like Old Man winter is coming. Time to put them away for the season! :smile18:

 

[WFO]

All ready started. Pulled my boat apart couple weeks ago took it to Mike at Central Texas Jets and he reset the intake. Did a very nice job if I say so myself. Now going to pull motor apart and go thru it. It has been 6 years. Still not going to finish everything though. To much to do.  bling.gif but she will have a fresh motor and intake is resealed and maybe powder coat the pump.

Yea you talk about them Lightening headers, i was surprised at how much water was left in the supply tube even after opening the petcock,,,just for grins i took the petcock out completely and blew the line out with compressed air,,surprising there was enough in that manifold it could have caused problems if it froze.

Oh shit here we go again with the drop light method!

Hmmmm, I guess I'll do the same. Thanks for the heads up.

Blocks drained and done for the winter. As far the drop light goes my uncle lost his engine in a freeze in Houston back in the late 80's. Ever since it's been nothing but antifreeze or draining for me.
