    The Lucky Kid

    Pretty much all my life if I wanted something it showed up before long. Doesn’t work with money though, I have tried. So we had a motorhome trailer, dirt bikes and such for the kids and I and we used to go for 2-5 day camping and riding. Wife used to ride but gave it up. Kids grew up, got jobs...

    Hey Del

    That clears that up. Thank you for the effort you put into this. I appreciate it.

    Hey Del

    @67Dart273 Good morning. The instructions for the Classic Auto Air system says to connect both power leads to switched ignition. The system apparently draws up to 20 amps. I want to take that load off my key switch with a relay direct to the battery and realize I probably need a continuous use...

    Holy Crap, Hot.

    I couldn’t even imagine living in a place like this. 101 at my place today at 5000 feet.

    Real Life Roadkill-type Stories

    OMG how many times I ended up in a Roadkill type situation. Here’s one. Keeping it short, I threw the driveshaft out of my dads 58 Ford pickup on a backroad while he was at work. One cap disappeared. Only 2 tools could be found in the truck, a 5/8 short socket and a 1/2 wrench. Drove it home...

    Dakota 5.9 odd ground issue starter relay clicks but won't crank.

    You do have heavy gauge cable from the battery negative to the block, right? Hope I’m not just asking a stupid question, but I have seen guys burn up a speedo cable by using body grounds only.

    Oops

    That sounds familiar.

    Oops

    Yes because I thought I didn’t do it this time.

    Holy crap, 7 dollars?

    Interesting nostalgia. The body damage estimator is quite the gimmick.

    Any electronic shift AT trans experts in here?

    It could be just a stuck solenoid, but we all know how that goes. Ah, I think Donny just made my point while I was typing.

    Oops

    I know it keeps the burning of the tip and cap contacts down from the HEI spark jump, but I’m pretty sure that’s not why they made it. Good question.

    Oops

    This is what happens when you use a Napa MO3000 rotor and don’t get your distributor cap back on exactly straight. :D The MO3000 rotor has a 030 longer tip.

    Real estate question.

    Fortunately for me three of the four beneficiaries are happy with the way it’s being handled. The fourth beneficiary is the one I had to take to court to get her out of the property. Since I had to hire an attorney anyway, she now owes attorneys fees, fiduciary’s fees and 7 years of back rent...

    727 Converter In All the Way?

    You can be sure if you measure from the bell mounting surface of the block to the flex plate bolt surface and have just a little less than your picture measurement. It looks in to me too, but when you put the trans in and make sure you have a small gap between the flex plate and converter as it...

    universal air conditioning and heater

    Classic Auto Air Vintage Air Classic Retrofit Restomod Air Are a few, and Jegs sells full AC kits as well. I just recently put a Classic Auto Air “Perfect Fit” series kit in my 73 Dart. It wasn’t quite a perfect fit, but close. Some kits have premade and crimped hoses and some you have to cut...

    Real estate question.

    No thanks Way too expensive there for me. Just the estimate rent on the house is over 4k a month. Not the executor, but just the one dealing with the attorney and fiduciary after the executor wouldn’t leave the property after 7 years of getting free rent at the expense of the beneficiaries...

    Real estate question.

    I can’t answer all the questions in replies, so I’ll add this. It is my job to get as much for the property as possible for the beneficiaries of a will. Looks like it’s going to be listed nationally with the locals having a chance to make a higher bid.

    Summer Break In The 1970s

    I grew up in the Sierra Nevada mountains, so when I was around other kids it was when school was in. During summer break I was cutting and hauling firewood with my Dad, or fixing some piece of equipment for when winter came again. Other than that I was out hunting, fishing or riding one of my...

    cracked dash pad

    I almost like it too, kinda sorta almost. It’s better than it was with its guts hanging out. I know all the details involved in doing it right. Not going to do it. Whoever ends up buying it when we decide to sell instead of it sitting in the sun in the driveway and baking can do that.

    Real estate question.

    A property in a highly desirable location in wine country California. Locals are willing to make a competitive offer and avoid a possible commercial buyer coming in. Through an agent the final closing costs could be in the 50k range all said and done. Considering the desirability of the...

    FYI on motors that smoke

    ATF is high in detergents and can free up rings that are sticking from carbon buildup.

    Adding Pinion Angle Shims - Tell Me If This Sounds Correct, Please

    When your GV is as high as possible, it seems to me that you want just a bit less than the same opposite at the differential. Lets say you have 4.5 down on the GV, then you want 2-3 degrees up at the diff. Then when under load the diff comes up a little more making the angles about perfect for...

    Pressure regulator?

    This might help.

    Vibration 45-50

    Yep, tires, driveshaft, ujoint or loose yoke on the differential. Tires is easiest to start. Dont forget you can put it on stands to check things. Spin the tires in the air at speed. If you don’t find it put the fronts on the back and test again. That is how I go about things, but obviously you...
