Thanks for the good information! That is a super-neat car... I HOPE he continues with it.... it was really interesting!!!

Last post from him was in 2012.... Draw your own conclusions... :(

Asa, pick on somebody your own size!!!

X-2!!!:cheers:

That dash looks really good to me! I think you did a nice job on that radio delete plate... looks factory! :cheers:

Wow, Ed, that is REAllY light for that car! Congratulations! My '72 Valiant 360 weighs 3,340 without me in it! What a pig...

Don't fight it... get your sleep where and when you can... If you go to sleep, it's because you NEEDED IT!!!:cheers:

Thank you, sir.... I appreciate the kindness very much! Those third members just seemed to get heavier and heavier every year. sigh... I needed a "cheater"... so, I figured this was as good as I could come up with. The only modification to the (cheap-***) Harbor Freight transmission...

Thanks for the kind words! The pinion snubber pad has (if I remember correctly... and I hardly ever do...) three bolt holes; if you drill the two rear matching holes in the "installation tool" (that are "pivot holes"), a little "loose" (7/16"? 3/8" bolts) and don't cinch them up tight, the...

I think that's a really good 60-foot time for your mph and e.t., and yes, I realize that with the engine not running up to its potential, (due to "shooting ducks")your quarter mile times (and most incremental times) weren't as fast as they should and, will be. Your efforts are paying off and...

Hey, no problem, David! I should be more selective when I choose the emoticons to adorn my messages! My bad... Have a great weekend!!!:blob:

That's going to help your 60-foot time and through the middle. Let us know when you have had a chance to test it; I'm going to be curious about the help to your "short time." A worthwhile change, for sure... You go, guy!!!!:cheers:

David... It was never my intention to flame anybody. I was sincere when I wrote: "Thanks for ALL that good information!!! We appreciate it!!!" I DO appreciate what you posted. Did you think I was being sarcastic? I wasn't. That ain't me. Ask anyone on FABO... When I say "Thank you, " I...

:-kThanks for ALL that good information!!! We appreciate it!!!:-k

I guess silicone sealer works, in lieu of a gasket for this application. I've never tried it, but preople tell me it works fine....

When I got on the wrong side of seventy, I decided my back needed all the help it could get.... Thanks for the kind words!:cheers:

Here's something you could build (I'm an idiot, and I built this one, so I know you could do it with your eyes closed). It just takes a Harbor Freight transmission jack and some 1/8"-thick steel plate and a couple of bolts (and a welder.) I had a friend weld it up for me. Now, the heaviest...

Do you have aftermarket axles?

Was it in a pickup truck???

I LOVE it, but is this going to take the '68 off the street??:-k Lots of talk about breaking axles, driving a spool on the street...

Well, let us know when that happens; you've really piqued my curiosity...:D

Thanks; I really appreciate that!!!!!:cheers:

Thanks! I I-M'd a wild and crazy guy for information, but his I-M box is full... and he hasn't been on FABO for a while; he may be gone for good. I used to have a near-comprehensive collection of "CARS" magazines, but moved to California in 1980, and back to Arkansas when I retired in 2004...

Who built that Cricket, and what magazine (and month/issue) was it in? That's impressive...:sign12:

How much did it weigh?

Okay, sorry; my mistake.. Let me rephrase the question: How does it flow on a flow bench using a 3.75" bore parameter? You need to know before you go to the trouble of doing it tos see if it's worth the trouble.

With a 4" bore, it sounds excellent; with a /6-size bore, it sounds like a lot of valve-shrouding on the outter edges...](*,) How does it flow on a flow bench set up with a 3.5" bore???? Bigger ain't ALWAYS better...

Why do they call it a "Cricket" head, and what kind of configuration does it employ??? Inquiring minds want to know...:sign7:

Sounds good to me... It'll leave harder. too...
