    Parts Cache Value…

    Nobody sales parts.....not even here in the technical forums. You can sell parts in the appropriate sections here....and magically it doesn't cost you anything but you time and a little effort.

    [SOLD] 1970 Dart Duster 340 4 Speed Reverse Lockout Complete Assembly. A Body Specific

    How much extra would you charge to clean it before sending? I have had purchases held up at Customs here for excessive grease and oils in the package.

    Before or after usage in corn-holing? Is that a thing still....asking for a friend. :lol:

    Deep frying

    Are you frying with my recommendation of WD-40, or some untrusted member..... using 90-weight? :lol:

    ...but with WD-40 your pans will never rust. :lol:

    Bobtile over at FBBO made a video of himself frying chicken in WD-40 a few years ago. :lol: :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    The G-Vans....lol. IMHO they don't look half as good as the Dodge & Ford vans. :)

    m2 diecast anybody else into these

    The addiction has just begun......you won't be able to stop now. :lol: I had to wean myself off buying Hotwheels cars.....got to around 8,000 at one point. I do drool over anything A100 or Ford Econovan. Those little 60's era vans and pickups are so cool.

    speedway motors electric brake kit

    If you do decide to go with a booster, you could use a remote vacuum booster like I used on my A100. Makes me feel better about stopping now.....4-wheel drums were OK for a couple of hits, then hard to stop after that until they cooled again. And before anyone says anything, they were set up...

    Post your self portraits!

    I did something similar as an apprentice. My Tradesman was working on a fan heater....when he went for lunch, I sprayed the elements with CRC, and switched it on full heat. When he came back to work on it he turned the power on, and he was showered with white smoke. Everyone laughed, except...

    1966/'69 A100 Twins Build

    I actually bought a rebuilt steering box from Carsteering back about 10 years now.....I didn't send a core back due to shipping costs. The box is fine and still in use to this day. I have adjusted it a bit, but it is possible to rebuild these boxes yourself if you have the right machinery...

    1966/'69 A100 Twins Build

    Another helpful hint if you're going for headers..... I just removed the Hooker Super Competition headers from my A100 this past week. Reason: they take up too much real estate under the lid, and they generate a lot of heat. I swapped out to a set of Patriot Hugger style headers, and so far...

    1966/'69 A100 Twins Build

    Hi Jim, Been doing a load of back-reading to catch up again here. Those steering boxes are rarer than Rocking-horse scat.....so I have contacted a local machine shop to see if they can help repair what I have as a spare. The bearing faces shown in the picture (your pic with arrows attached)...

    1966/'69 A100 Twins Build

    Trust me....with an angry engine and the amount of wind noise from the most bull-fronted screen and the door design....deafness is not far away. :lol: I took mine on it's first road trip to the Beach Hop here in 2010, and with a 4.10:1 rear end, no door rubbers, no carpet and no cabin...

    1966/'69 A100 Twins Build

    Looking really good now @Jim Kueneman - I haven't checked up on this thread in a while, so I have some back-reading to do. Another shout-out to @Johnny Mac for setting up another member with what I know is a great engine. I am still extremely happy with mine after nearly six years now...

    1966/'69 A100 Twins Build

    Gee whizz...that looks familiar.... :lol: It does fit this way, and it goes in really easy if you take the time to undo the side brackets that hold the engine mounts. Make sure to lube the bolts for re-fitting them. A lift can take a lot of the hard work out of the engine install.

    I got a lot of shocked looks here ..... :lol: Jockey is a well-known brand of underwear here, the stain (actually Nutella) just adds to the effect. :thumbsup:

    Post your self portraits!

    At work one day blowing out a VSD - full of dust, dead mice and mouse droppings.....noisy, dusty and hot. That's my covid mask made from a pair of underwear. :eek: Mostly just to stop the floating dust going up my nose.

    Starting circuit challenge - intermittent fault SOLVED

    How are your ambient temperatures right now - or at least when trying to start the car? Also check the age of your battery - I have a Falcon XR6 which did the same thing. Turned out to be a bad starter motor - full of carbon brush dust - drawing current even when the car was locked up and...

    They said it wouldn't work, you did it anyway. How did that work out for you?

    I took on a job back in around 2013 upgrading domestic power supply revenue meters. Easy work, but at the interview the boss said I might not enjoy the work as it was well beneath my pay-grade so to speak. Also I had been self-employed for a few years and he was worried I might get bored...

    Wow. Have you noticed the HUGE amount of stuff for sale here lately?

    It must be Tax time soon......that's what happens here. All of a sudden a month out from taxes being due, tradies are selling off their toys. Every year without fail.

    Stop in for a drink.

    I can't drink very much peated or heavily smoked whisky......doesn't sit well with me. I'm more of a Highlands genre. :thumbsup:
