Then Tim is bringing back the care he found and we want to spray down the cylinders before leaving to see if the motor turns freely when we get back, has not run since 80 I believe.

I wanna see this thing! Sounds like a sweet ride.

 

[dukeboy440]

Talked to him a little while ago. He was already in Gettysburg.
He isn't sure if he is dragging it up to your place. Or bring it back here tonight. It's only sitting maybe 15 minutes from my place...

wow, so a field/barn find? I was thinking an early Carlisle ad or something.

It has the potential to... But needs a LOT of work. Was kinda surprised Tim went for it. The guy mostly sells truck caps, plows and misc junk. But has several old cars out. As far as I know he mostly flips them, but Tim said he claimed this one was his from way back.

I believe that is the same model, or very close. I won’t give any more details though. Tim’s story to tell...

 

[Unconventional]

I can see him cruising PCH now

I got pulled over for drinkin' a MUG Root Beer one night when I was a kid. As the officer was doing his thing, my boss drove by. I sure got a bunch of crap the next morning after he came to work after church.

you did say I can take the stand off the emissions tester to make it fit better right?

 

[halifaxhops]

Yes

 

[dukeboy440]

Yes

I'm really tempted to bring the truck and this not be a problem. But I'm not sure I trust it that far. Plus, I'd have to get the engine back in it and theres not enough time now.

I think he’s coming back either way. Just might leave the car here.

 

[zkx14]

Oh yeh. Datz shiny! Just a quick cleanup. Will do even better when I polish and wax the whole car before Carlisle.

Problem?

 

[halifaxhops]

[Tooljunkie]

No,no problem at all. I just have to tear it down, wash all the cast iron filings out and replace pinion bearings. Reset preload on pinion and hope it will still run quiet.
