I think that he last posted at 3:30 last night? but a smiley face might mean that the car moved when he started it and put it in gear?
I`m up, idk where all my help was maybe at the car show lastnight but they werent here Just got to shop at 8 went to bed 330 havent started car yet gotta do some wireing and add tranny fluid, cut hole for shifter.put in seats but going to make sure tranny works first. Had starter change over issues had to use the ls relocator and rerun starter cable............ IDk its going to be close and idk if i should just get in it and go 2 1/2 hrs to Terville I am, tired need a 5 hour energey lol. I`ll post back later when if i get it running
How can it work for Terryville? Well, If you hit the road and shit happens, I will set my son up with the truck and trailer, just in case. Need to find out if he will be around though.
If everything goes well I will had out I will call when i get it running. Did you want me to pick you up? I have a friend that came in from out of town he said he was going to be here @ 8 but hes not... I was thinking of winging it i could have someone follow me with my truck and trailer but idk if that was the case i should just trailer there and park down street but thats just not me and am not that smart but would get me there and i could try to drive back lol Are you going anyway Frank idk how long it is to get there but i figure 2 1/2 hrs from me atleast The best part is i am so jacked up on seeing it running again the tiredness is wearing off lol I am on the home stretch now
You have too much to do and then the time frame puts you at T'ville at 2:30 at best. My son said "you only live once" but,...if it were me, which it ain't, I'd take your time to do it good today and Sunday, so you can get your car out of your business area by Monday? That's what i am doing this weekend, to get more room.
Yeah but thats the right thing to do T-ville is probably out but i will have it running today and figure out tranny. I need a coffee bad
Cool. I misunderstood when you said oil ,filter adapter. I thought you meant oil bypass adapter. So yes, I am suprised it clears the stock olds filter base with the new spin on. Maybe you got lucky with the right brand of changeover bell? I was sure someone said that can't work....but it does Now see if it engages the torus teeth ok Ha, see? the old saying "stuff happens for a reason" ? Meaning that changover sat on that shelf for 40 years, waiting for YOU
Tony, Dave took advantage of my poor eyesight, and being a young, city dwelling lad, nice shiney things are what catches their eye I must have walked past it a dozen times on two trips...duh. But it went where is was most needed, that's for sure, and I am glad it's one that seems to fit his torus. Interesting that he ended up with a larger torus from B&M. I know nothing about hydramatic A/T at all, but I thought there was some hamb post about B&M using a better torus from another GM, but maybe I just assumed it would be smaller, not bigger. That must have been a kick in the pants late last night when the cast iron lower half bell would not fit. Lucky to have that changeover part, and also, someone on the speed dial in Ohio for advice, to help with a jamb like that
All i can say is I am lucky to know alot of you guys here on the HAMB and my good friends that i have that i can count on. Frank you know I am lucky you turned me on to the parts place and your knowledge and help is irreplaceable .Thank you. Tony you are class act! I have never met you in person but i feel we have a good friendship and it may have to do with the money thing IDK.. Idk many guys i could call @ 1230 at night, and the buisness realtionship we have had has been great you go above and beyond! I appreciate all the help Thank you!! I am putting the last few wires in and then ready to fire up Jake wish me luck. I want to just leave it for tomorrow but i am so close and a nice ride tonight would be good
IDC what time it is if it breaks it breaks!!!! Well Jake is back to being stout just got back from a bite to eat and a little ride, Had a run in with Johnny Law (open Headers) He just wanted to look at car

And no Tony you cant get extra i think my old one was just that bad Jake shits and gits i`ll tell ya man what a difference. I will have to adjust the kickdown in 4th it goes form 1st to fourth to quick for me i have to figure it out tomorrow. I am so tired i cant sleep I been one irritable sob let me tell ya. I`ll be on for a bit but i need a shower and sleep..
Yes i am but i am, But i am paying for it let me tell ya I hate having a car down and cant drive it and Jake sat a long time and needed a bunch of TLC and still does
Yes, in the shop, like every freaking day since forever. I almost finished that friends 23 dodge today, need 2 more hours, then try to snake it out from where it grew roots That means i get to start up the Rocket and drive that one out of the way. That will get me going again. I should have some adjustment data in a Motors Manual, if you don't have one.
