Oh, I thought I put these here, for future help to anyone who may have to remove the heater box. I found some people who mentioned the hanger hook bolt, but this is where it actually is, and what it looks like. With my phone stuck up inside there for a better view:

I finally got some time to get back on this. I tied the hoses together with one of these: I put a short hose over one of the heater core fitting, with the other end into a bucket, then gently blew some compressed air into the other fitting. After getting as much of the coolant out as I could...

Thanks guys. Good tip on trying to bypass it. That's an easy to do check, so as soon as I get some free time... I can't believe how long this swap has taken. Pretty much an entire year, but to be fair part of that was pacing myself by buying the parts as I had the money available. So close...

I have my slanted 6 to Magnum swap basically complete. Still working through a few issues, but it's driving. The last couple test runs I've comeback from, I found a small puddle of coolant on the floor. It wasn't leaking before i started the project, but way it went...

Sorry, I just realized I never came back to follow up on this. On Monday I emailed the contact from Tesla back and let him know I’d like to remove myself from consideration. The potential job was for the automation in the battery manufacturing portion of their factory. When I spoke with him on...

Alright, I think I'm decided this isn't a good move for me. There's more to life than a big paycheck. To be honest I was really liking the idea of relocating to TX, but reality has now set in that that particular area is not like what I was at first imagining.

Hey I promised I'd help my younger brother put a power steering pump on his BMW (this ought to be fun) so I have to run, but I'll be back later to catch up. Thanks again for the reality check.

A friend of mine bought a house over 20 years ago in a development in PG county Maryland, kind of inbetween Baltimore and DC. He knew nothing about HOAs but quickly found out when he tried putting up an American flag on his house after 9/11. No good. He went as far as trying to hire a lawyer to...

Maybe some context of my situation now would help. This is my house at the top of the hill here This is my backyard And the pole barn where I get to spend some quality time working on the old car. Concrete floor, insulated, wired, lights, and it has a heated/air conditioned workshop...

Thanks for the replies guys. I figured things would be expensive. People moving in that sold places in their fomer homes, then having high paying jobs are going to drive up prices. What was shocking to me though were the property taxes. One of those small houses on a lot that's not even a...

I could use some info on what the area is like. I'm in the mid stages of interviewing for an engineering position with a company that has a large factory just outside of Austin. This is a company everyone has heard of. The job itself sounds fantastic and the pay would be very good. At first I...

Thanks Ray. It was nice meeting you and the Mrs. I wish I had more time to chat but I honestly had to get back to the work. Definitely jealous of you retired guys. Although I really can't complain, you know you have a good job when you don't have to ask the boss's permission to step out for...

I just ordered one of the turret style because the old Sears one I had wouldn't grip the tubing anymore no matter how much I tried to tighten it down. This is where I ordered it from, they seem to have the best price by far: K TOOL INTERNATIONAL Brake Line Flaring Tool,70081 (KTI70081) | Zoro...

just sent you a PM.

I could use one of those, but I don't do Paypal anymore. I work in Thompsontown, so could run down to Duncannon and meet you at Sheetz or Rutter's over my lunch break.

UPDATE: I contacted Chris at Schumacher and told him about my screwup. I offered to send the kit back for an exchange and pay the shipping to get the right one to me. To my surprise he not only told he'd be sending me the correct driver's side mount without charging me, he didn't even ask me...

I bought a set of slant to SB spool mounts from them back in June of last year but I think they started getting up and running a little before that. Those headers look nice and they're priced comparably to TTi. You want good made in the USA headers for an A-body, that's what they cost now. The...

Hmmm, so based on this post, I ordered the wrong mounts. Should have bought the 273/318 flavor. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/for-those-with-magnums-what-mounts-did-you-use.433318/post-1972481712

Happy New Year FABO! I had some time to get to the point of no return on my Slant to Magnum conversion today. The slant is out and I modified the driver's side perch as per the instructions on the Schumacher kit. That all went fine, but when I started to bolt the mounts to the Magnum block...

I thought I'd log in and share some insight, since someone asked about how they're made. Back in 2011 I spent a few months in a plant that was started to make solar panels. I was absolutely shocked (no pun intended) to see what it takes to make these things. They were depalletized as individual...

Back in the day I lived near Mount Bethel and Bangor

Quick public service announcement for anyone who's been waiting on the spool style ('73+) slant to V8 conversion mounts. They are available again. I ordered these last week '73+ A, B, F, M, J-Body Slant 6 to 273/318 or 340/360 and they showed up today.

Did you know that every part of the Dandelion is edible? Yep, the roots, the stalks, the leaves and the flowers. Some people even say they have medical uses. But yet, we have been conditioned to hate them and think of them as a nuisance. Back when I was much younger, and still had cable, I...

If you're willing to drive a little bit, I have a mostly complete stock 318. It came with a 904 I bought, and I used it as a mockup to build an engine run stand. Once the stand was done I wanted to see if it ran, and it actually did. I wound up scrounging some parts off it for my Magnum, like...

One and done price drop before I list it locally. $8900

These are the spots on the roof I mentioned

1973 Dart Swinger. Very solid driver quality car with clean PA title in hand, runs and drives great. See below for full specs. See my FABO Member Restoration thread for details on some of what I fixed in the 5 years I’ve owned it: Getting a '73 Swinger Back on the Road All documentation and...

The last thing I did ignition/electric related was to put in a distributor advance limiter plate. I bought one of these FBO kits and installed it as per their recommendations I wasn't sure what the difference in the springs was, so I sent an email and they were nice enough to give me a quick...

The next problem I dealt with was, after the 4 barrel swap, it wouldn’t rev over 4000 rpm. It was like that with the 2bbl, but I figured it was starving for fuel. Nope. When the previous owner rebuilt the engine, he kept the rotators that were on the exhaust valves (it was an 80’s truck engine)...
