A guy about 60 miles away used to be the Chrysler dealer in the town back at the end of the muscle car hay days. When fuel and insurance costs went to the moon, he took in lots of Hemi, 440 6 Pack, 383 Super Bees. You name it. Has a couple of warehouses with real low miles cars. He has sold a few, and he knows the values of each, so no bargans to be had.
We knew a guy like that when I was in grammar school. He lived in a neighborhood kinda cattycornered across the street from the school. He had all kinda of badass Mopars. Super Bees, Superbirds, Daytonas, Hemi cars, you name it, he probably had it. He lived on a double lot, so he had the room. I remember in the 7th grade his house caught fire and also got the adjacent long pole barn where all the other cars were kept that weren't in his garage. Burned them all to the ground. If I remember right, I think he was killed in the fire, too. I have a friend from school I still go to the Waffle House with every now and then. I know he remembers that guy because we've talked about it before. I'll have to ask him if he remembers whether or not he was killed in the fire, too. I think he was.
Sad day when a whole barn full of collector cars goes up in smoke. Bad if they burn outside but in a building the wallas hold the heat in and they get real hot. I don't think the iron blocks are salvageable.
Yes it was. I talked to my friend and he said like I did that he is almost positive the man died in the fire. I think that's right. This was a very long time ago. If I had to guess, I'd say probably about 1973.
They're supposed to be very good carburetors. I've not tried one yet. Maybe one of these days.
Those wooden spacers are supposed to be da shizzle for keeping the carburetor cool.
Do you mean the top hole?
That's for the PCV or power brake booster. There should be a fitting or a plug in the little plastic bag that came with the carb.
