the discussions are usually current and informative...but if you asking while looking at a listed car...again, that deal can slip to an informed buyer....one always runs that risk and you can easily tip the listing to a person who is ready to buy and jumps right onto the deal. I said what I did not as a slam to the man but I did pick up on the fact the car was sold and he was showing a bit of 'loss' If he stays within the Mopar lineup and similar era of vehicle, he is now more informed and maybe better prepared to deal with a seller. Snooze you loose and fish or cut bait are other adages that fall onto a less informed buyer or the every prevalent procrastinator. If you worried of time and money in a car, then you need to set you limit first, buy a car that is at the stage of completion on par with that max price and enjoy the beast. If you are not up to any tasks involved in the process of rebuild, the price will be great in farming it out in today's market and one must always remember that line in the sand WILL forever creep away from you in time and cost. Maybe lesson one in the hobby just played out. Learning curves are timely and also costly.

TIRE KICKERS REMORSE while not saying asking before buying is not prudent, there is the risk of losing a buy based on the very time it takes to ASK AND ANSWER via a forum.

often the time with the kids is worth the investment in terms of money but then only you can establish that coin/bond rate of return. Seems there is a bit of TKR going on here.

Well, I have determined that I absolutely am not a hoarder, I got a brochure in the mail concerning the cause and effect of hoarding and I was able to toss this in the trash without a second thought whatsoever....

there is a long list of recent active folks who are no longer active and while I had contact for some of there from the past, many dropped their home phones in favor of cellular and my numbers are no longer valid. Even GTK has tried to contact in my behalf through the e-mail with no results. So, I am figuring these folks are no longer with us and the spouses did not know the size of this community and the effect of the absence of said member to inform. Odds are they had no means to sign on and many may not have any awareness of their husband's footprint here. It would be nice to know for sure, I would find it odd all would have gotten miffed and left without a word, sold their car without mention.

my apologies to your kids and grandkids...I'm a sick puppy.....

looks like a yellow eared slider....I am a turtle fan....

snagged this for a 12.00 bill, well I did not have a twelve dollar bill so I gave them 4 three dollar bills... Local pawn shop is the only way to fly for good quality tools...these are Lisle brand...

few golden truths in the above post..

unfortunately, my book will only give me the part numbers and brief description including lengths of the two remote shift cables needed when set up as right hand drive...you will need to source a repair manual for the export market for an exploded view...this view should be found in Section 19 of the exploded view of the parts breakdown manual. The RHD will have other special bracket, spring and spacer clips etc. We have a couple UK members and of course a few from down under that hopefully can share an exploded view edit note....cable is length for fluid drive, and length without fluid drive

more than not, the other switch is for the windshield washer...

yes

Brent, would not it have been easier just to put the hay in the silver truck and leave the other at home? ?

nice commercial drill press, this will out last you I am sure. As for the South Bend, I cannot see how I ever got things done about the home and shop without mine. Congrats for both items...

most trailer has 5 x 4.5 and if your dad had these on a valiant stock when they first come out...well, unheard of first years...even much later with the V8 going in a 5 x 4.5 A body rear axles pre-'73 are hard to come by....

these should be 5 x 4" pattern, and yes 13" rims.....just sold mine a month or so back....

I would bet a dollar against a donut it has never been rebuilt....and something you could do..your prime concern here is the points cam....if it is good...pop new bushes in and let the big dog eat.......worry about the vacuum advance later....

for the record, the mechanical advance if working is all you need for performance. The vacuum advance is there to promote economy as the low load at speed will allow the engine to lean out by advancing the timing....add the load back in the vacuum signal is lessened and the advance is retarded/returned to mechanical control. So other than a loss of a bit MPG you will not miss the vacuum advance.

the last modules were true 12...early..there is a question there and though I have one, I have not tested so cannot confirm and to be honest with you not much concerned as I have no use for 6 volts and could care less others opinion as this one is mine....lol Pertronix is not stable enough in my opinion and no OTC service with their line of products and worse than stock 6 volts based on that, again my opinion don't care what other think or do here. Langdon, many problems in the past with his stuff and that atrocious cap...care not for that....again my opinion. I see nothing wrong with point on a 6 volts system. I run them on 12 volts when and where they are of a model I can buy across the counter. No need to make things harder or reinvent the wheel. My last upgrade engine in the 48 does not even have a distributor. But in my opinion if I were going 12 volt with old school mechanicals, then the /6 dist upgrade is the only way to go.

feel your pain....we were hit Thursday when the third severe rain band passed through... I was awakened a minute of two before 4 AM shut down the computer....went to the kitchen and started to make a pot of coffee....lightening ran in on the phone line....heard the one in the kitchen go pop...burnt smell was most awful. Lost phone service, tested at the house connection box, nothing there. Called it in at 4:29 AM. Back up and running that evening but not after a second call as I did a follow up and had an extended window for service....bit upset with rural areas always taking a back seat to city folks. Figured I upset them as the line was disconnected on their end. 45 minutes later service truck in the driveway. Turns out, everyone lost service, many had their modems with side blow out. I am back up at 6 that same day, new service jacks in the house and whatever they had to do the line/drop. I did hit Wally World for new phones at 7AM as I knew their would be a run on phones. oh, 2.5 days....7 inches of rain...4 of them with the three bands Wednesday after noon to Thursday 4 AM....calm at 5:30 on....in that period was a few many tornado warning and out community siren fired twice with sightings...do not care for T-storms and winds...

your local big box store has online pricing also, shows if stocked, turn around and my one stores here gets orders twice daily from the hub....each store is a bit different....I hate to say it but the local I have an account at (set up so I would not have to stop what I am doing, pay for the special order in person at the store first) would get the part in but their counter folks today are so brain dead it is beyond belief and trying not to be gender biased but when you are more concerned over breaking a fake fingernail on a keyboard, well your priorities are out of whack toward the customer and the company needs better guidelines for 'work abilities and ethics'. The other store in town gives me better service, better quality of folks staffing and also orders in my part via a phone call and their site has better parts descriptions and in some cases, drawing with specs outlined. The third is just so out of line in prices it is my last choice for anything and the counter folks are helpful though...but one or two are cocky and not quite as up on the subject as they think. Their attitude is not the best to the walk in customer as they are the county selected store for the school bus and truck fleet they don't need walk in folks. It is often a chore seeking parts any more.

yes, I checked them out one time...once was enough to mark them as less than desirable retailers....same experience you posted....out of reason shipping.

many women go for that MRS degee right out of high school and bother not with anything but to play Mary from then on....women want everything from one man and man wants...well, let that one alone for now. Sometimes you have to cull one or two to get a good apple.

excellent....not every application is as successful....I am thankful we have an excellent staffed DMV here where I live, 25 miles to the north, a whole different ball game as they say. My friend got a bit of a run around with that office I do not think he would have gotten at this office. But...you can't truly say.
