Should I have a few more beers before I start welding? I think you have had too many already.....then there are those who do this without "the beer"...

My car has holes in the gravel pan for back up lights..no lights with the car..I found this pair of U.S. 400's at a swap meet in Charlotte

oh yeah...Mucas McCain

Greg in reality it is doing both..intaking from the engine and exhausting it to the pipe/muffler

I also stopped several times to take tarpons off the road...I hate to see little lizards, frogs and turtles hit on the road.

I interveened in WV on a mountain road..a mother possum had been hit..looked to be dead three days minimum..carcass was bone and hair basically..three baby possums were still clinging on...I picked them up, fed them that night and again in the morning with a dropper...thank goodness WV DNR has drop off points for abandoned/injured animals...they accepted them that morning...they were all ears...just could not leave them beside the road

I love the Shadow series bikes...my '84 700 shaft drive six speed Shadow was a treat to drive in the mountians this past week...as for fast..lets just say I was impressed with the CB1000 six cylinder I got to ride one time...

Thanks for posting the pics..the dash looks to be a combination of the 46-48 and the 41 carry-over. Interesting....I thought maybe the 41 was the last year for the curtain behind the drivers seat for the spare. I have no leads on dual intakes/exhausts... If you are excited now..wait till that big butt coupe shows up at your door...these are awesome automobiles and the single seat makes them in a class of their own. I have been only piddling with small stuff and digging out the small parts I will need next...the temps here are out of control...humidity is awful... I need to go online and source some quick connects for to complete my exterior engine wiring..

never raced..ANYTHING...nothing to prove...besides...it takes a lot of money to do it successfully.

link to Radio Trash site..price is right... http://www.radioshack.com/sm-2n3055-npn-transistor--pi-2062614.html I cannot find my schematic I downloaded..may be on my computer at work

"The grille is different,but the rest looks a lot like the 46-48 Dodge business coupes" 42 introduced the rolled rocker and the abscense of the running board, however the 42 still carried forward the front fender that stopped at the cowl and did not blend into the door as the post war 46-48 models. I for one agree that the Dodge Business Coupe is excellent looking automobile..and as an owner of a 41 model. we have a lot in common. Do you have a picture of your dash..the 41 dash I do not like as well as the 46-48 and thus I installed the later model in my car. Also the tail lights were moved from the rear fender tops to lower as later models. AND does your car have the spare in the trunk or did it still carry forward from the 41 year being behind the drivers seat behind a curtain?

With any improvement in breathing the cam must be profiled to take advantage of this. The cam should be changed to at least a moderate 260 or better...at the same time exhausting what the engine will now take in is a must..dual exhaust would be an advantage. Jetting the carbs for proper fuel ratio is also a must..else you run a bit rich..syncing carbs is paramount and proper tools will be needed.

The part number of the regualtor I used eludes me at the moment, mine is already mounted under the dash of my car. Somewhere in the shop in a small folder is all the info. This is avialable on the internet when I find the part number..circuits and all, parts list etc. for making the device. Really simple..mounting the components on another board and inter-connecting is a pain, going minature as I did with the socket mounted items makes it better in my book. If I run across this today I will post the info.

oh boy...lips and a-holes..no hot dog is a hot dog without them...remember..everything on a hog is consumable except for the squeal

The radio will be a major deal..due to grounding..I for that reason and consideration of AC install did not install it. Besides, the old radio tough neat in looks is not really a useable item. (quality stations are not comon IMHO) Mount it, hook up the light for looks, mount an aftermarket good stereo out of sight. Actually if you go with 12 volt, go with negative ground, change all your bulbs, use a Runtz resistor on the blower motor and if electric wipers, use one there, you can build a variable regulator that is about the size of a small match box that is positive ground as it is so isolation is an issue..this unit will handle 12 amps of continious curent, surge to 15 amp. I have one in my car and is negative ground, thus I have it isolated. Be sure your iso box is well vented. This device will fold if shorted and not burn out... As you can see, the device is self contained, the control circuit and filtering is external and small enough to solder on the socket. The red rectangle is the variable resistor for adjusting the voltage...the heat sink is a must. If you iso-mount, be sure the box is drilled for good ventialtion.

http://indymotorspeedway.com/500sit-inf.html Wikipedia also has some nice facts about the track.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indianapolis_Motor_Speedway FROM THE MAP PAGE FOR SEATING: http://indymotorspeedway.com/500sit.html You can sit inside the track. At other oval tracks, the stands are all on the outside of the oval. At Indianapolis, there are many stands on the inside as well. There are also grassy hills in the infield where people can watch the race.

My independent hardware store carries it...I have never done a search for the stuff on the internet...here is the skinny off the jug...including internet addy B52 Brown Bomber (The Unltimate Degreaser) Hollander Corporation 1-800-741-5000 www.hollanderproducts.com It has the price tage of 8.99 on the gallon jug.

I use a liquid concentrate know as B52...it is a brown soap and I just spray it on my white walls and raised letter tires and use just a 2" paint brush to aggitate..clear rinse..super brite whites...about 8 bucks a gallon

I may have called the area by the wrong name but we certainly were in the inner circle of the track and seated in bleachers...man that was 23 years ago....might be the rolling cars shut this area down..was there only once.

Don...the black boxes I repair are liquid cooled with cooling oil..that stuff is nasty...

Don..talk about a memory...I rode from Charleston SC in 1984 to Indianapolis to see the 500...it was an adventure for sure...I was amazed that the locals routed motorcycles down the sidewalk and got us into a special parking area...we had no tickets in advance...paid a scalper 24.00 I think for infield seats...was a good trip all around. Wild in the snakepit...more b**bies than you could shake a stick at...

Don..you be surprised at the number of water cooled bikes including two strokers...my 84 is water cooled also...one of my favorite items when two stroke running..Blendzoil (sp)...man does this stuff have a funky odor that lingers in the air forever...my Elsionore engines loved this stuff..

dad had a knucklehead back in the day...his was not cut up like this pictured one..had leather bags and all...real sharp...his brother rode an Indian..they hit each other in a curve in the mountains...both went over the hill...pretty messy I understand...

Got your tank back in............could you elaborate on why it was out and what was done to the tank while removed from the vehicle?

Tony...most of these I have seen are pretty crude in some regard to the size and placement of the fuse panel. I do however have one here that is new in the box and came with the 41 Dodge when I got it...however for my application it was not sufficient for all the modern devices my car has. The circuit panel has a very small foot print, caries 20 fuses, 21 circuits and has the flashers etc...the company name is it's a snap www.itsasnapwireandcable.com I probably will install this harness in my 48 Plymouth as I do not intend to dress it out as much as I have the 41 Dodge...I do like the smaller footprint of the item..install books looks great, wiring for both GM and Chrysler components drawings are included..price looks very reasonable .. Just returned from the shop...mine carries a zz20 part number....not sure how old this brochure is but it list the harness at 265.00 plus 100.00 instant rebate for 165.00 out the door price...
