  1. usually the best seat for this is your living room watching it on the TV....my only advice, to enjoy turn off the sound and deaded out the humdrum play by play commentary crap. If you have seen one eclipse you've seen them all....crossed this off my list long ago....
  2. Key point to keep in mind is the amp meter feeds the ignition switch but also all HOT circuits. Many times the voltage loss is here and one needs only to clean and secure the wires affixed to the amp meter both from the battery and the down stream feeds.
  3. is it anything like this total Eclipse...????
  4. You don't need either of the above, just be sure to spend at least one night at a Holiday Inn.....PS sleeping in their parking lot does not count and renders you totally ineffective.
  5. this is what happens when a old radio don't know the words to the new songs.....
  6. Not just a Town Sedan, but a town sedan special
  7. The 50/50/50 Plan 50 dollars down, 50 dollars a month for 50 years As is typical for dealerships, they purge stock at approx. 10 years end of service/application and it was about 1980+/- when there was a glut of flathead on the market as the end use of the engines for most commercial applications come to an end.
  8. If I recall the asphalt fiber style pipe was referred to as Orangeburg Pipe.....have removed a number of feet of that stuff over the course of my life, way more than I ever wanted for sure....I believe many here have had to play hockeyologist a time or two.
  9. unless you have new cylinders to install, or new kits on hand for install, you may be able to take each cylinder apart and clean the seals and components well and reassemble with the Dot 3 fluid but I would for peace of mind NOT reuse the seals once subjected to the Dot 5, I highly recommend new kits as a minimum. Unless there is the constant task of pulling a load behind you taxing the brakes or consistent driving on long curvy down hill grades, odds are you are not going to need a higher temp fluid than dot 3 but dot 4 will bring you minimum of 401 degrees by manufactures specs. you will need to also flush your lines and flex hoses well also... Good luck, take your time and get all cleaned well.
  10. nothing wrong with striking out with another approach...before you start working this in metal why not mock it up in wood to check if this combination of components will work for the task at hand and if so, you basically have your template and wood is so much quicker and easier for mock up
  11. I think I need a tetanus booster just looking at the pictures.....have fun with the beast
  12. the barrel and key assembly slips into the switch housing and is independent of the electrical section/functions. IF your key works smoothly there is no need to remove the key and barrel.
  13. the store managers/counter staff today typically NEED year make and model for fit/fitness as they have zero hands on experience....rather frustrating for those that know what they are looking for and specify this often carrying in the part number to be 'raked over' the make model and years questions....only the computer seems to know when in the store as the sales staff can rarely tie their own shoes. Refreshing however to talk to someone at the counter who has insight.
  14. that is quite the reversal of the norm.....good on him....support your local wrecker is all I can say....
  15. I think the reopening may be a move for quick and easy money before calling in the crusher as yet another old car yard will be history as the family likely is cleaning the property for estate sale purposes. Grab what you can if the prices are right. ?
