67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Picked up a few needed things in the junkyard a couple weeks ago. Got lucky and got this 90° filter adaptor for sonny's 318 off an M body engine in the motor pile. Engine was laying on its side, with the filter side pointed straight up. Only small block mopar there. Easy peasy. This thing was crusty as heck. Had to scrape the chunx off it with a small screwdriver first before scrubbing and cleaning it inside and out with mineral spirits then lacquer thinner to get the rest. That engine probably has got 302 castings on it. I may have to go back for those. I also picked up a slightly used weiand stealth 8022 for $200. Right now she is a parts collection along with sheetmetal that's slowly going in. Temps are starting to come down to reasonable. 93°-96° is reasonable after the 116° **** we had.
