I'll put it on the calendar. Depending on snow, kick-down signal, and spark advance, I might even bring the Caddy.
Jeebus, y'all sound like Corvette owners. (Ain't no real Corvettes made after 1982) Here's a little perspective: My oldest car does not qualify...
Today I am not worthy. Tomorrow? Well, no, not then either.
Fuckin-A Salty that's EXACTLY what I was lookin' for! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=540911
I wasn't all that happy with Things Remembered...I used them for an award and it looked nice enough, but this ain't that.
I didn't wanna sound too ejumacated.
Thanks, safariknut, I don't think I'll be heading in that direction, but I appreciate the offer.

Dave, I like what you're thinking, and will have power to the plate (the switches are lit)...using an art package and laser printer really avoids...
I'm liking that idea. Keeping them in line vertically shouldn't be a problem, horizontally may take a little practice... But I could use a set...
Ain't the only horse in the stable. ;) HAMB worthy in the way Kerb feelers are not.
I remember Dad using a Dymo Labeller to mark things out and, man, it just seemed hokey. [IMG] Those new labellers are cheap, and cover the print...
Rhode Island.
No Bout a Doubt it, I need a labcoat for wearing in the garage!
The problem is the parts that mysteriously evaporate. 1 of 4 water pump bolts dropped from sight upon reassembly, only to make itself known again...
Good to know. This one's been newly rebuilt...but jetted for sealevel and leaking all over the intake, it was kinda pokey. I'll throw a tag on...
Replaced the 1966 Rochester with a modern Edelbrock. It had a warped top-plate...and based on the difference in behavior between old and new,...
I put a new Edelbrock carb on the Caddy's 429. a. It's AMAZING what happens when the fuel goes IN the motor, vs running out all over the TOP...
Shoot, looks just fine with the patina. What's the rush?
Well, for the WORST sounding, I'd say any uncorked Wankel....talk about needing a muffler!
I can't speak to specifics, but in generalities, you do NOT want to run it for any period of time out-of-tune. There's about an 1/8ths of a gnat's...
Fwiw, gears were the thing that really f'd up my mileage...went from a 2.52 behind a 700r4, to a 3.54, woke the car UP....mileage went from low...
If you have a handle on a '66 Fleetwood 75 frame, I'm all ears. :D
Yeah, I'm not disagreeing. (And it's hard to get the camera under there, without dipping it in the bath.) I'm hoping I can get the lion's share of...
(This also serves to show how the chemical bath is working, and I'm still working on getting a more....authoritative...pump) [img] Untitled...
I'll see if I can get a better picture, but it looks like there's a seperate piece of plate in-between the frame...you can also see spot-welds...
I'm starting the chemical rust treatment on the Caddy. I purchased a Harbor Freight camera-on-a-stick to get up inside the frame-rails and about...
Hard to say...I can't see the clearance from Denver. :D
They make kits that'll insulate the boots, but the other thing you might check is the timing of the motor. I timed my 383 accidentally to a cam...
Did I just spend $100 on $33 worth of molasses? I bought the container of concentrate from "safestrustremoval.com" and initial tests show that it...
