We are in the same age frame, I'm 68 and still having fun with my 340's. Sonny and Ronny Sox, Don Garlets and Darrell Gwynne were regulars at our annual show in Hollywood, Florida. Galen Govier showed the first few years and put on a Judging class for our judging staff. I was one of 11 to attend. I learned a lot from it and try to pass on the knowledge to others. I consider all of us in this forum a "TEAM PLAYER" in our hobby. Many of my comments start with, "I believe or if I remember correctly", is because I'm am 68 and 40-50 years is a long time ago. My first Mopar was in 72' (a Dodge Sportsman Royal Maxi B-300 Van) and I just 3 years ago, put it to rest. Still have the 70' 340 that I have installed into it and saving it for my next project. Pittsburghracer, I do agree with you, "Mother Mopar or any other large manufactures doesn't care about the past, but only for today, not even the future. The days of buying a part for anything are over. They want to sale you something new. The EV cars are an example. Ten years they will be trash and then you must buy a new one.
