Stop in for a cup of coffee

My wife went to her aunts funeral and while walking across the graveyard back to her car. She fell to the ground and said "I can't breath". She had her sister riding with her, so sister drove here to the hospital. Wife had a lung just go flat for no particular reason. They kept her a few days until it healed itself.
That was many years ago. Never happened again.

Hoppy and Bride are on their way home. As for the Hoppy ride it was a total PIA. No matter what tool I tried or how hot I got the pipe and the O2 sensor it would not budge. Almost cut it in half with an air hammer trying to get it out even. Finally decided we would drill a new hole in the pipe nearby and put in a new 0'2 bung. Problem was we did not have a bung. So I fabricated a new O2 sensor bung. I took a large nut that looked to be around 18 mm. I cut it down smaller than it was initially. Then I locked it in the vise and I drilled it out to a larger size and tapped it with an 18 mm spark plug chaser. I cut a new hole in the exhaust pipe and welded in the fabricated '02 bung. Close enough to the old ones at the wiring reached. I told Hoppy not to tell anyone who welded it in there. We were each about 12 or 13 beers deep during this operation. After all of that fishing. LOL..

Thanks again Mitch.
 
Usually the clients for them are tight as can be and try to beat you down alot on them. Lot of moola to have stored and a 50/50 chance it is good. Either the solenoid is corroded internally or the vacuum diaphram is broken. No one rebuilds them either. NOS is great if guaranteed the part works.
 
I must be getting old. There's a family that moved in down the street with at least 2 teenage boys. They both (and all their friends) own late model 4 cylinder fart can muffler cars. Geez, those things are like fingernails on a chalk board. I would much rather hear a 8 cylinder with a bad muffler. Heck, the loud pick ups sound sweet compared to these little rice grinders! Rant over.

Add the annoying "Used Paint Can" looking tail pipes on diesel pickups to the chalk board :lol:
 
First guy coming to look at my old tractor. 1952 cockshutt 40. I decided to put the sell it now price on it. 18 calls on it. I hate selling stuff. If he lowballs, on to the next guy. Im not dropping the price.

There was an atv done up with a snowmobile engine/tune pipe. The noise was unbearable. Ear piercing. Im suprised the car show organizers let him in.

Cockshut. Interesting history on that brand. They eventually were made in Charles City, Iowa just a 45 min north of here at the Oliver plant.

Maybe you make them see the light on a very loud 8 cylinder MOPAR.... But you'd be competing with (how many...9? 10?) Fast and Furious movies. Build a drifting Dart!
 
Finally back at the house. Whew, that was a lot of driving in a day (for me... Don't start Tim). 433 mile round trip, but glad to have the transmission dropped off for the rebuild.

We talked about it. Mostly so he'd understand what he had. @slantsixdan basically dropped the mike. It's either a frankenmission from some point in its life or it was repurposed at the factory from an A body to like a C body 225 car
