    First evening deer hunting this year

    Spent my first evening of the year in my stand last night. Within an hour had 5 bucks within range. Had to wait for this guy to come in the open. Arrow hit it's Mark at 32 yds and he expired 30 yds later. Not a giant around here, but he's still a dandy.

    Thank you so much for that! Can't wait for Lori to get home and let her read it. Tears will flow again I'm sure, but not tears of sadness. Thanks my friend

    Alot of you know that giant emptiness there is when you walk in after work, and they aren't standing at the door smiling and wagging. That's gonna take awhile to get over I know

    Lost my best friend yesterday

    I'm not a real emotional person in general. But I cried like a baby when he closed his eyes. Reading all the thoughts and prayers,and similar experiences from a bunch of people I've never met in person, has kinda renewed my faith in mankind, and is really weighing heavy on my heart. Seems we all...

    Lost my best friend yesterday

    I'll look for some old pics I have when he was younger. Up until he was about 9, he'd come running everytiEV I fired up the dart and stand by the passenger door. He looked so proud riding around in that bucket seats with his head out the window

    Lost my best friend yesterday

    Had to take our 13yo golden retriever in yesterday and and let him go to heaven. Found out 2 weeks ago his chest and abdomen we're full of masses. He acted normal, was always happy, and ate like a horse. The vet said he was showing no signs of stress or suffering but it was only a matter of...

    Mopar daily drivers

    I had an old primer grey, 69 dart GT with a fiberglass 6 pack hood that was my daily driver for years. Winter, summer, fishing, hunting, it went everywhere. At the time it was all I had, on weekends id clean it up and drive it to the strip now and then, but mainly just put a hurting on high...

    Think I'm gonna get a new set of springs regardless. Also might try to find a NEW set of iron adjustable rockers and good pushrods. The old 273 rockers have served their purpose well, but I'll sleep better knowing there's new ones under those stock valve covers.lol

    I'm still trying to find the old paperwork from these heads to see what all was done. I know Dad spent a TON of money on them at the time when he was racing, but never installed them

    Got the shortblock disassembled and looks immaculate. Took block and heads to machine shop that my dad used 40 yrs ago. And yes, still the original owner. Cane hear well, but he knows his ****. He said it would run just fine with only a light hone. Said there's room for improvement on decks to...

    Thanks. I'll probably do that. Ive always like this one, never had a problem and it works good. Knocks the tires of in all 4 gears haha. Which is kinda what I want. Not winning strip wars, but it sure is impressive to the young bucks that think they're fast.

    Not going to be much strip time anymore. Mostly just cruising with a heavy foot an the back roads, and showing the impoet and mustang kids how a funny looking antique car can wipe the smirk right off there face. Thanks for the info, but I think going the custom clutch route is a little overkill...

    Any suggestions on an affordable clutch to put behind it? The Hayes has been in there for 40 years and has taken more then it's share of abuse. Might just see if they still make that one. Although I'm sure none of them are built like they were back then

    Oh I'm definitely leaving the 4.88 gear right where it's at. This car doesn't go on long trips anymore. That carbs been great. It's been on there for over 40 yes now. I'm thinking I'll probably use the 780 awhile when I install the engine, then switch to a double pump and work on the tune.

    Probably gonna replace the 40 yo Hayes clucth and pressure plate too. Things worked great and never came thru the can.lol not sure what the hot street strip clutch is now days, and I sure as hell ain't going automatic

    Yeah there's gonna be some block prep, but the crank pistons and rods are staying. They're brand new, and the 40 yo motor I'm replacing proves they work. Along with the 273 rockers! Just wondering what good modern single plane to use. Probably time for a carb too

    That's the whole point of it. Using old school parts that worked then and work now. Plus I already have them. Everyone says you need aluminum heads, this and that. The heads I'm using were ported and set up by R&j performance. Anyone that knows their work knows what they're capable of
