    Timing is this possible?

    Guessing that maybe my marks could be off or the mark on the balancer isnt exact on the pointer at 0. Ill go back and double check that tomorrow and see where i land.

    Cheap & easy stereo solution for '72

    I also wanted to not cut the dash and have good tunes. Not counting the cost of the radio but i got about $25 in materials. Very lightweight and even have some extra storage.

    Rant of Disgust

    The majority here are here to past along good parts to people that need them. Now even here we have those out to sell because thats how they make there living. If your looking to pass along good parts at good prices or selling to eat! Those are two very different things. I have a select group of...

    Rant of Disgust

    People are free to price things how they want. Chose to buy or not. Some items are rare and hard to find anymore. If i spent $1300 on trim which is kinda of awkward id appreciate the seller carefully packing and wrapping for shipment which cost time. Who knows maybe he is 50 miles away from...

    can an A-body tow?

    Towing isnt so much about the weight but more of the tail waggin the dog! Could it pull it sure! Should it pull it probably not. The wagon would most likely do a better job and has the weight to it.

    in a pickle any machinists?

    Thats just it it wasnt a grade bolt just a regular bolt. I was running it in and it snapped. Though trying different stuff ive managed to booger the hole Im assuming a left handed drill bit wont touch hardened steel

    getting screw on a part from fabo no-no

    Also if you filed a claim with Paypal your suppose to wait till the verdict comes down before doing anything. And even then i believe that should the buyer have to send them back its on the buyers dime!(I know this because i went though it with a set of carbs awhile back) I would have waited for...

    getting screw on a part from fabo no-no

    They look like cores nothing more! Cleaned and Mag'ed isnt machining. The photos in the sale ad look similar to the ones in the OP posted. The fact that the seller told a potential buyer in his thread to come on by and check out the parts says alot about him. If he were a true scammer he wouldnt...
