Sunny. Looks nice out, it's only about 35° but doesn't feel too bad.

There's a pic of the underside after I put new shocks on the back. I'll dig around for some more of the threads I started with pics on them. Ordered 4 new shocks for the fifth

the weather is supposed to clear up later this week if you want to see more of it.

There are several on various threads I've started here, I can take some more

If you have the 2bbl you can unscrew the cover on the top of it and dump fuel directly into the float bowls. I did that when my fuel pump failed, it would start up and run fine for a few seconds, and for as long as I kept putting gas in the bowl directly that way. Just don't overfill it. It...

Some shocks will lock closed with a quarter turn, but you should really make sure you can compress it. You won't damage it, it is literally it's only purpose. If it won't compress return it. I had a shock that just didn't extend smoothly, Rockauto sent me a new one, wrote it up as "catastrophic...

I had a couple big black walnut trees that a guy gave me a grand to take down for veneers. They left a TON of scrap behind because it wasn't perfect enough for them. (they needed long straight sections) There's probably a whole trees worth still there if someone knew how to work with it...

I worked at a Dodge dealer in PA as a detailer, within a couple of months I was running the department. If the wife (then fiancee) hadn't been dead set about moving to MI I'd probably be a salesman there now.

I should have clarified in the beginning, I won't even disagree with your first paragraph, I should have said "I used to" because that was a thing I did going on 20 years ago now... Also agree getting racing off the streets and onto a track is a good thing, though it's too expensive and people...

Any fuel is better than no fuel. Even with just a squirt it should start and run, at least momentarily. That's how my Grand-dad used to check for fuel, he'd dump a capful straight in the carb, if it'd start, run for a couple seconds then die, you knew it was a fuel issue.

I've never seen Street Outlaws. You are way over-analyzing it. I agree that a car should be able to do it all, but there are always compromises. I like having something that's different than what everyone else does. Not to be different, but because I like to try things out for myself and see...

It was 60 last night, supposed to 16 by Saturday morning

As long as I'm posting... Anyone know if these intake gaskets are any good, or not? Fel-Pro Intake Manifold Gaskets MS90009

Just my 2 cents, and at the risk of alienating myself..., my idea of a fun car is tall gears and high rpm power. To me, that's the definition of a "sleeper", at least on the streets, in real world driving, where certain circles know a car and driver by reputation. There are guys that will know a...

My coil is on the passenger fender. I'm looking at a couple different distributor setups, First one is a Proform "Blue box" for $149 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pro-66991 Second is the Summit brand Mopar "Orange box" for $200 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-850003 Third is the...
