Thanks for the birthday wishes guys... I went to Eddie's and spent the day with him.... We haven't hung out for a few months and it was good to see him and his wife again...

I brought my favorite cake from our local bakery up to celebrate, a strawberry whip cream cake....


Of course Eddie had me look over the cars up there... His nephew bought a 65 Dart convertible with a stroker small block which we found many things that we want to fix...

Then we looked at Eddie's 69 Dart and found that it's overcharging... The alternator gauge constantly flickers and it's putting out over 17 Volts... One battery has already exploded on him... He's going to remove the alternator and regulator and have them tested at P&G Keene who rebuilds alternators and starters... Then we are going to look into the wiring... Found a few things that we need to look into...

I’m sorry, I missed it, happy belated birthday

lol Yeah, that was the only Mustang made from 74-78. They were a massive flop for Ford, but I always liked them. Had they offered a performance version of the 302 in them, they would have been a much bigger hit. I do remember the chicks liked them. lol

I saw one of those Mustang II's a few years back when I was near Detroit picking up some parts from a guy...

The Carlisle express?

I could get it to Jeff and Jerry Davidson (Dodge33) brothers and maybe they can get them to Carlisle....

I may be going to see my Battle Creek buddy in the near future.... They are about 15 miles north of Battle Creek and I haven't seen them in a while...

For an outside fire I do kindling etc in center/underneath and build the larger stuff around and over, or teepee style. For woodstove I have found the topdown burn works better. Takes a little longer to get going, but much less smoke while starting. Also less likely to choke itself out if big stuff doesn't catch cause sometimes the smalls burn out too quick. That is especially good with the catalist element, cause it takes a lot of heat to fire it off initially, and all the initial smoke is going before it starts. Of course I still light it with a MAPP gas torch. LOL

Interesting about hte top down in the stove.
I'm still experimenting on the best way to build up the right amount of flame for canel coal in an open grate. Get the coal too hot too fast and the volatiles pop shards of coal out of the fireplace.

"We" bought the little gold Mustang. Had it about 2 months when my ex wife rolled it. She was alright but we ended up with a Pinto from there. Yes I used to be a Ford guy. And as a side note she wrecked EVERY car we ever had. She even went through 3 in one day...yes she did.

Reminds me of my ex wife and her sister.... going through cars so fast.... :BangHead:

Her sister had a rental car and had 5 "hit and runs" in two months... She claimed that they all happened in the parking lot at her work... But I think I know who did the hitting and running... There is one common denominator there....

She always seems to have "hit and runs" that she claims were not her.... :rolleyes:

Try stove coal it is less violent. I have pea coal in mine, works well

Maybe that's what they use to do.
They would have had pea in the bins anyway to start the furnace in the morning?

Then use that as a bed get the canel for the open flame ?

Nope. The newer of the two I put in several years ago. Probably made of pure Chineseum. Total junk. The one I wanted to rebuild was probably original to the house 40 years ago. Built like all faucets were then. Solid, and everything replacable. I'm sure at that time you could get any part of it at most hardware stores. The old one has a solid brass inner shaft. Have not removed the outer housing from wall, but guessing it is cast brass. Newer one used a thin tube inside and out - both corroded and just twisted apart. They had 2 at Homely Depo. Both better than the junk one, but one I got is a little closer to the old one from what I can see.

try Ace Hardware for the parts... a plumber told me that they carry alot of parts to fix the old faucetts when I was telling him about my back shower that was leaking... He said that he charges a couple hundred or more to fix, but can do it myself and get the parts at Ace... My house was build in 1960...

Believe this now......I went to school with a guy whose older brother had a Mustang II notch back. It was like a midnight blue with Cragar SST wheel on it. That guy put a Cleveland in that car. LOL At the time, Hedman made Headers and a mount kit for it........and the Pinto too of course since from 74 up they shared the same chassis. That car was not slow one bit. It was a real hairy ride.

Gas makes burning anything more fun

Yes, but have you noticed that regular gas is easier burning than high octane????

Plus why waste money on high octane when you can get better results with regular....

First place I looked.
They do have probably a couple hundred diff rubber washers. But. Not what I needed. If I find that, I could hunt around for a handle, or make/ modify something. Will see. Not in a big rush to fix that one. As said, I cut the pipe and valved it off. Might be that way till Spring.

I like to layer it from paper, then cardboard and thin sticks and kindling, then progressively larger wood... Then try to light the paper in only one or two spots on opposite sides and see if it will get going....


My dad was officer in charge of damage control on a Destroyer in the Navy, he was trained to deal with fire... He taught me how to build fires in our fireplace when I was 4 years old... I would set them up and had to have him there when I lit them... JIC....

What's even better,

After you have a fire going real good, you put gas in a plastic bottle, fill it up don't be shy.

Then you throw the bottle onto the fire and run away and from a distance you watch the bottle melt, then suddenly WAWHOOOOOSH!!!

it's great stuff but a little on the dangerous side, but so is life

Beavis and Butthead were not allowed to say Fire after a while because of pressure from some of the 'public' blaming them for kids starting fires.... Only in the early days did they make a fuss over fire....

 
Hey I got a ton of 63 Dart literature with some other stuff, seriously a lot any one here have one?
