    Retiree bronze plaque.

    A tad bit off topic and not even GM... But I don't have a ford to get on the board...so here goes : For sale: 2 Bronze Retiree Plaques. These were the master patterns from which all other plaques were made. So yes, these are about 3% larger than the actual plaques Ford retirees received. These...

    OEM Breather replacement

    Ok, I have found the metal breather and lid that houses the air filter and the parts houses want over $200 for them. In my OP, I said I wanted to cut off the snorkle part of the breather and patch in a piece of sheet metal to cover the opening, left from the removal of the entire snorkle. I had...

    OEM Breather replacement

    Somehow, sucking air in thru a 1-1/2" snorkle opening just doesn't seem fitting for the long tube headers w/ 2-1/2" dual exhaust . And if the factory snorkle was good, why can't I find a replacement in any where? I do appreciate the perspective though.

    OEM Breather replacement

    I'm talking about the big round metal can with a lid and a long snorkel. It's usually painted black from the factory and houses a big round air filter which traps dirt from getting into carburator..

    OEM Breather replacement

    I'm looking for a replacement air intake breather that will fit onto the original 4brl quadrajet. I'm wanting to eliminate the snorkel tube, but I don't want to "hack" the original. I'll gladly hack a replacement..lol. Yes, I run the breather lid flipped over. Of the aftermarket breathers I've...

    Can the heater core be turned off?

    I don't think that would be a good idea if coolant has to circulate before thermostat opens. If you look at your coolant circuit, some circuits use the heater core circuit to circulate some coolant thru pump, which keeps pump from cavitating. My 78 requires coolant to circulate, so I could...

    Can the heater core be turned off?

    I installed that unit in mine. I did not use the cable. If the dew was heavy in the morning, I just pop the hood and flip the valve to get some defrost heat. Then flip it back at a stop later. Keeps the cab much cooler. I have a thead on here about the install. ...in the "garage" section, I...

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    Ok...a couple things... If you want real faux carbon fiber, a black sharpie marker, draw straight lines at 45°, 90°, and 90° from the first 2. Sorta in a basket weave pattern. That's premium faux carbon fiber. A coat of clear between line layers givs it real depth. The other thing: annoying CL...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    Oh my goodness... I saw the pictures of the flattened pipe and pop can patch and started rolling. When I was going to college, I had an 88 fizo, 300, metric 5 spd. That thing ate exhaust systems like a fat man in a donut shop. I worked night shift in the E.R. and would borrow (without...

    Aux Battery Tray local

    So, I have felt along the wire going to the block and I detect no deviations in the wire. It may be further back in the loom. Today, I finally decided where to locate the aux dist block and charging relay. I did not want to drill holes in the inner fender which limited my options. There seemed...

    Yes, That is how mine looks. The schematic states "fusable link" in the location of that block, so I assumed that was it. I may be assuming erronously. If that piece of metal with the 2 holes is not the fusable link...where is it?

    Well, pooh.. I had not realized there was a link there and because the original looked so...well...old and crusty, I made a copper bridge. 1/8" thick 1/2" wide. That would fuse an average house. I should probably take that back out and get a new one. Yea, good plan...

    Fusable link on firewall distribution block... Where do you find the fusable link that goes in the block? The original is part of the wire coming out of the loom from the alt/batt. It's like crimped on the wire. Where do ya find em? Or do ya just use a blade style fuse block?...which would not...

    Cardboard utility box upgrade.

    Honestly I've been kicking around a little "corner of the talegate" graphic... The "Smiley" line art with a phrase, "We're goin to town boys!" The significance of that is because the "Bonanza" badge was a marketing promotion from the TV show, Bonanza. And that line always got the Cartwright...

    23...Smiley...? "Only the Shadow knows..." And maybe the guy who did it....lol And ya gotta figure he's around 80+ years old or better. Because the Vietnam draft had been in full swing and just ended a couple years earlier. And most kids of draft age had no interest in working in assembly lines...

    I am by no means an "artistic" inclined guy. Mechanically inclined is my second nature. Engines talk to me and I just listen...lol
