He's just scoping the place and checking your attitude..he is just waiting at the chance to use your place for a wild party when you go off...they don't call him rockin' Robin for nothing...

Mopar air is out there..you just need to get up to the right speed in order to compress it...

Thanks Norm...I have a couple of these radios about the place...have printed a copy..much obliged.

I have always had the silicone to set..have some that take quite a while sometimes..sure age does have a role in this...was the mixture when applied smooth or was it showing signs of chemical seperation? If there is sign of the mix seperating interally..chunk it...not worth the hassle to clean and re-do.

James..you are correct about the placement of the holes in the newer dual sockets..I found a bunch of pigtails at the local swap meet last year and these were drilled ever 90 degrees so all you had to do was index them....made upgrading a snap...you can find these most the time at the site where lots of automotive electrical is set on display, tape, lugs, fuses, lamps etc...They are not expensive at all. Just wired mine night before last...also quick connect water tight pigtails are recommended here also..makes for easy off and on...

I am sure he wants it for to complete the looks of the car...I will have mine installed but never to be used..Widow Makers one and all...

Georgia Cruise control...often used with those famous words, "HOLD MY BEER AND WATCH THIS"

Well Don and gang..hope you all meet up quick enough and have a great sit down meal...as for me..tonight I take wife two out to dinner..her B-day...you know the place Don...Mennonite Restuarant...

when you got up at 2AM..sure hope you were going home...who in their right mind gets up at that hour? Used to be my going to bed time. I am sure your's is a dry heat..until we got our rain and it got muggy humid...the temp was up but was very tolerable...however my grass is now green for really the first time this year...and the trees are not moving around chasing the dogs...

Put it on the Underhill's credit card...want the number? (Fletch)

I have a gut feeling the only thing going down between Coatney and Pete (aka blueskies) might be some hot wings and beer...(I'll place my money on Don if that is the case..)

No Dennis..not upset..just disappointed that they were even out there on line somewhere..I have nothing invested in the event...but I think I would be very disappointed to think I was going that far to see an event that has already been played out and end up as a mock show...can't speak for everyopne but for me it would be like I was getting ripped off...

have you tested the flexible lines for restrictions..seem the right brake is doing all the work..check for full flow on the left...

I have a feeling that for public safety they have unearthed the vehicle ahead of the crowd...going to be a lot of disappointed folks. The water, hate to see that but in reality it was a below ground vault..I do think I recall it is on a platform.maybe the only way it would be able to come out in one piece...I am upset in seeing pictures before the event...slap in the face to those who have invested in the adventure.

They do not have a wiring kit for that and they do not have the luxury of custom building one at a price they can offer that yuou could afford, the resitasnce issue is a cop out..go to the wire guage resistance table and see, 12 guage I think has an internal resistance of 1.56 ohms per 1000 feet...trust me..the resistance is not an issue..the fact that they don't have the kit and want to sell you an off the shelf one fit all is the driving point in their answer. Many upon many cars have their batteries in the trunk..however most aftermarket wiring is designed around an engine compartment install..my 66 car has the battery in the trunk from the factory..V8 etc etc.. For all practical purposes, build your own from donor cars...put you components where you want, easy access, easy replacement, use current model available parts that will be servicable years down the road..it is not hard..a wiring harness is just a bunch of individual circuits bundled and taped together breaking out at each componet for connection.

Do you by chance know Dave Martin or Dan Mazurik/family? They live in your neck of the woods...as in a block or so most I would think. Dave has a son who was into automobiles pretty heavy.

Did??? some still do.....some do still whatever...they be people running baldies yet today...however by this time usually a steel belt is peeking through.....OR...you stumbled on a pile of vintage racing slicks

LH platform car is the Concorde, Intrepid and the Eagle Vision

alright..come clean..where you located? was in Goose Creek from 1966 to 1994...will be there this fathers day for a bit..

How about "bucket of bolts" is that the kind of name you wanted? I have not a clue....those small hubs ought to be a defining mark..

Fatman kit for the front steering, shocks reloation and brakes was from Plydo..(former owner got these). The engine is 68 vintage Dodge 383 with 727 tranny coupled to a 70 'Cuda 8 3/4 rear gear. The brackets for the Cavalier once you see how it goes in is a piece of cake to duplicate...secret is in where to mount to prevent bumpsteer and of course the adapter for the tie rods and taper bushings. I may change my steering rods yet to LH platform as the TRW rack is shared by both GM and Chrysler..Chrysler uses front steer so no applicable..again the unit is non specific per say as it ia TRW design. More on that later...I have a parts LH car now..I think this setup is overall better than even a subframe and I have both..reason for that comment is the fact there is no re-engineering bumper brackets and doghouse mounts..doghouse is a piece of cake..bumper brackets to stay stock..bit more involved. I also think there is room for improvement in the Fatman kit...just not confortable with the adapters...reason I will experiment with the LH rod..plus I think the thread are the same and you can get both size tie rod tapers so eliminate the taper bushing also. This is yet to be experimented with. Charlie has your brake kit, recommend his for service, price and such. As for the Ford 302, it and the Mopar short block are almost identical for length, width and height..the AOD from that year is the better for retrofit. If you want automatic I do not have an album set up for any of my cars in what you call sequence of work being done...but I do have lots and lots of pictures. If you want Mopar AOD you be stuck with 88 up truck. Recommend the 91-93 myself due to a couple improvements and before total electronic control. I don't have a book going back on the 37 so cannot answer the forward frame width question..I am thinking it would not be a problem..the radiator shell is of the same size I think and if so not a problem..send me the width of your shell..or if you have a 40's to compare with do so..more than not you will be altering the inner fenders. My 41 left inner I removed the battery box for the PS pump clearance and the remaining area will hold two quarts of oil and a large brake fluid bottle meatly in place. The right I just split a bout 5 inches wide by 5 high and rolled it outward and welded sides to this for full alternator adjustment. with the 383 plenty of room yet everywhere else.

The GREEN DIAMOND badge just below the windshield divider is a larger size of the one I have on my 41 1/2 ton K1 series.
