The town over had their annual garage sales on saturday, and I got a taste for deals once again. A precursor to this, is the last Holley carb I picked up. I think I shared it on here, but to refresh..the shop I used to use was shutting down. The guy told pops to just take whatever he wanted, so I got a crap ton of cabinets..they still had a bunch of stuff in them. I have 9 dozen (at least) lightbulbs, and picked up about 3 sets of plugs..one for LA engines. More importantly though, I picked up a Holley carburetor that..after decoding..ended up being a rare date coded 66 427 4spd Corvette. May be hitting up a super Chevy show to see what I can get for it..
But Saturday, I didnt plan on buying anything except a lawnmower (I need one..mine is crapping out). Were going through, and all the sudden my wife pulls me aside and points out a car part (she's learning) I walk over and see its a holley and looks pretty good. Then I see they're only asking 5 bucks for it..so its now in my garage. Its a 3310-2..750 CFM Vacuum secondary..I figure if I dont use it, I can at least get my 5 bucks back. Later on, I find a lawnmower, and on my way back, ran into a Hurst shifter for 30 bucks. If I had the extra cash...it'd be in the garage too..but I barely brought anything to begin with.
I wish I could find good deals more often, I'd love to find another parts car for next to nothing..but I guess the more I get out there, the more I'll find.
