Waitin’ on a tow truck is what I’m doing.
Oh no.
That sucks, hope it's nothing major.
Thanks. I just did the transmission, I think the front seal is toast. It looked good when I had the trans out, but the converter snout was a little chewed. I know, I know, shouldn’t have ignored that….
It’s puking fluid out through the bellhousing almost as fast as I can add it, but if the level is good, shifts great.
Just making an insurance claim! Fricking Deer!

Finally got the Dart back together, it's amazing how easy it is to tune and how good it runs after fixing multiple vacuum leaks around the intake manifold! Also put a collar on the distributor shaft, no more scattered timing.
Can you elaborate on the distributor shaft collar? That’s something I haven’t heard of, curious to know more.

It's a collar that goes around the distributor shaft against the oil pump drive gear to stop the shaft from moving up and down and making the timing change a few degrees either way.

Thier was a thread about it awhile back but I can't find it.

Found it, put in a search, distributor shaft collar.
Not much. Texas skipped spring and went to July!!! Record hot today, last time it was this damn hot was 1893!!!! or was it '83?? Climate change or global warming? Go green you damned DEMs.!!!!
Nothing, I'm sitting in a hotel 750 miles from home, but I did go and look for some shop vac hose to replace my nonexistent defroster tubes, no luck.

The "Golden Oldie" is home after a successful heart transplant. My buddy also performed quite the facelift in the engine bay too. It was a long 6 months, but well worth it!
Love the attention to detail! Very clean.
Well it's been a long time coming. It's finally going in my 67.
Just a few more finishing things to do, and then it's going in!!

We never even bothered to lift the hood. It was that easy. You can see we used a cherry picker to lift the car. No fancy hoist needed.

that's not factory
Flirting with a little vapor lock this afternoon. Hotter than hell here already! Freezing some jell packs for the cool can tomorrow.

The cool can seemed to do the trick. After work on the way to picking the kids up, if I accelerated hard to merge on the highway or whatever it would sputter and almost stall a couple times (about 93*). I could smell a little gasoline once in awhile too. I thought maybe a bit of crud in the secondary needle, but in the morning the car runs strong (about 70*). I filled the can up with ice and topped it off with jell packs as the ice melted and it ran normally.
Thinking about wrapping the header at this point. Ceramic paint hasn't really helped my heat issue much.
