A sad comment, and should be deleted...

Thanks for posting - an interesting comparison, this one I had not seen.

A very nice car...Coin toss for garage space? LOL

I replaced the fuel pump in the old Fargo today. The truck was idling nicely when I took this photo.

I haven't had any experience with aluminum water distribution tubes. According to this chart it may be okay but as has been mentioned before, when replacing parts for our cars NOS is probably the better choice when available.

"No-Good Benny" incident had me laughing . I've heard of some of the scams that are out there and personally between "phishing'" emails I've received as well as unsolicited telephone calls ,telemarketing ,etc., it sometimes makes me suspicious that perhaps with me being a senior, (the info is out there), they will keep checking back to see if I've lost my mind yet....

It appears the owner put a moisture barrier of sorts underneath the car which is a good idea.

Well, Paul,, Whatever you decide to call your project, (things being what they are these days), I'm sure someone will take offense...and that's all I got to say about that.LOL

Are you referring to the rear shock absorber stone guards?. My Canadian parts book lists stone guards for all Canadian Chrysler cars 1940 - 47 part no.856350 - right ...part no.856351- left

Unfortunately that is true, it is better to transact business up close as mentioned to avoid any disappointment, nothing new, not every seller is trustworthy and long distance transactions are risky...

Follow 1 "You just can't trust anybody on eBay these days'' Unfortunately,that is true and as mentioned, it is better to transact business up close and feel better in the end.

No subtlety involved,the message being delivered loud and clear .... lol

I believe in today's workplace environment, a person must use a little diplomacy when correcting someone when they make a mistake...

Possibly there was a break in shooting the video. I noticed as we'll he didn't install the washers before sliding on the ball and needles...then a little further along in the video they magically appear in place.Apart from that I thought it was a very good video

Some have class...

Unrestricted flow from a mechanical fuel pump I believe should be approximately 1 quart/min at 500 RPM - I could be wrong.

This morning I drove my wife to the city. She wanted to shop. As we seldom shop together, I headed off to find something of interest to me and remembered reading in yesterday's paper of a sale,(someone selling assorted tools out of a garage in the industrial area). The sale had been on for a couple hours when I arrived. Speaking with the fellow having the sale, I was a bit late arriving and there wasn't much left. Apparently he bought the contents of a garage belonging to an elderly gent who was entering an assisted living facility. I was sorry I hadn't arrived earlier , but I did buy this tripod bumper jack . He was asking $10.00 for it. It is a MoPar jack, still had the tag on it. In marker pencil on the jack, the number 1710284 with price $9.95.- I'm thinking maybe early 1950's? I like this type of jack and have used them often.

The basic parts, for example ,WA1 carbys and tune up parts aren't too expensive , I have a couple of the carburetors on the shelf ...the other stuff is sort of window dressing nowadays and can be pricy as Andy says.

I could add a comment at this time, But I will refrain...

Interesting! Nice to see it up close and speak with the man .

Possibly, it also could be part of the history and interest in this particular truck.

I have to commend you on making a decision on your engine. I do hope it works out well for you and isn't too hard on the pocket book.

Cool to look at for some of us... 'though it won't win any drag races.

Your Pontiac would originally have a straight 6 239 engine. The Motor's manuals covering that year can be a very good reference for engine work. Nice to see some of these cars being driven and engines equipped with vintage speed equipment. Ford and Chev parts will be found more readily, expect to pay a little more for your car.

I have a little Yamaha Virago 250 that I drive around town. It doesn't upset the neighbours and is much quieter than my VTX 1300.
