Upset with Degree wheel findings
I’m 74 but my medical issues is what keeps me from putting no more than 2-4 hours a week working on the Dart. I have a bad arthritic ankle that the surgeon wants to fuse it together, so I have no left to right motion, which will make me lose my balance. Severe arthritis in my hands. Severe arthritis in my right hip. Recently the day after Christmas, I spent 18 hours in the emergency room because I couldn’t walk anymore due to really severe back and leg pains. This issue has been bothering me for the last three months. At least my mind is still intact.
Wow sounds like you have your hands full especially having a house fire on top of everything.How old are ya, Nick? I am 76, and I admit I have REALLY slowed down. Unfortunately I am now dealing with a house fire so there won't be many "projects" in the automotive world. Just before the fire, I had actually yarded out the roller block 360 that will be going back into the 67, and had intended to get it to "run and move" last fall. Plans changed.
It will be THREE years ago this August, I converted my 2WD "grey whale" 01 Cummins to 4WD.
I started the last week or so of August, and finally finished after Thanksgiving

The start--unloading the V10 automatic parts truck in August. I don't remember, think I paid 1200 for it and sold it for 500. Poorly running (1 or 2 dead holes) V10, lots of miles, and front axle and driveshaft U joints all beaten out.
and the finish---the parts truck now "tossed" somewhat back together on the old 2WD frame, going off to a lucky buyer
Today, and because the old '01 Diesel has no key fobs, sits outdoors with poor door lock weather protection, I'm installing a chineseoizationized "keyless entry" module in the door.At least if we get an ice storm, or enough water in the locks to freeze, I can unlock the darn thing.
