    Have You Been Employed in the Food Industry?

    The Burger King I worked at closed at 2:00 AM. We'd get people leaving the bar with drunk munchies. The routine was to let the stockpile of burgers thin out toward the end of the night to minimize waste. There were guidelines as to how long we could keep food products waiting for customers. The...

    Have You Been Employed in the Food Industry?

    In 1982-83, I worked at a Burger King in the Sacramento area. It was my first payroll job, I was in High School. It helped me earn enough money to buy my first car, a 69 Dart. I met my first "woman" there too. I gave her the Whopper. She gave me VD. (Not true about the VD) There are countless...

    Doctor Diff question.

    I do agree. If a mistake is made and the business owner is made aware yet does nothing to correct it, you'd have more credence on the matter. These forums are littered with dudes that seem to think they were cheated somehow when most of the time, it is a simple matter that could have been...

    Doctor Diff question.

    I’ll state this for those that may be a bit slow to understand… for the guys in the cheap seats, MANY VENDORS USE SUPPLIERS THAT SHIP DIRECT FROM THIER MANUFACTURING FACILITY AND MAY NEVER LAY A HAND ON THE PART THAT THEY SELL YOU.

    A quick P.S.A. for all to read

    I have found that there are some posts that seem to hang around despite them being outside the rules. It makes sense that some stuff slips through the cracks. The Moderators usually have jobs (unlike some of us retired folks..) and they literally don't have the time to look at every post in...

    Does your newer model car have a spare tire?

    Of course they do. The trucks are easy though...plenty of space. The Challenger could have been either way. There are stereo options that take up trunk space which deletes the spare tire. The development of run flat tires have allowed manufacturers to leave spares out of some cars but those...

    The money that you might spend to refresh old heads may exceed the cost of new closed chambered aluminum heads.

    Rear shoulder belts in a 1970 Charger

    I didn't want to be critical since I started this thread to show how one can do this with junkyard parts....but yeah, I saw that and thought the same thing. The guides that came in the Charger/300/Magnum cars are nicer looking and just snap into place.

    Rear shoulder belts in a 1970 Charger

    That is great. Some people will prefer to buy something that is simpler and easier to do. The car pictured looks to be a 68 or 69 Charger. The 1970 lower attachment point is in the side panel, not the axle hump as shown.

    74 RV 440 acquired.

    You'll need an oil pan and pickup but those are easily found. Truck, van and RV oil pans are all wrong, the sump is either all the way at the front or the back. The cars use a mid sump unit. The intakes are as heavy as the daily food intake of my ex wife so an aluminum one is a great idea for...

    Post up facts and things that hardly anyone knows...... (for entertainment purposes only. NO need to fact check)

    Uhhhh, if you ever were actually that close to hear or feel it, you wouldn't be alive to tell anyone.

    Post up facts and things that hardly anyone knows...... (for entertainment purposes only. NO need to fact check)

    Things were different 500 years ago and more, when lifespans were short and girls married at 10 years old. Even into the 1880s, the age of consent in some states and territories was 10, 12 years old. That started to change in the 1900s, but even as recent as 100 years ago in the US some customs...

    74 RV 440 acquired.

    You probably already know that these engines are always low compression, almost always under 8 to 1. The pistons are usually way down in the hole over .125. The heads are usually the same as what any other 1974-78 440 was built with, casting number '452 with approximately 90-92 cc chambers. Yes...

    Don't miss it. Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals.

    I heard that next Summer they are hosting the cars of the 70s. The Chevy Vega, Ford Pinto, AMC Pacer and Dodge Aspen are featured. I read it at FABO.

    Any Pontiac Fans here???

    Sometimes the Formula model was a better choice. The Trans Am sometimes looked a bit gaudy. A magazine article writer that did a road test once said....Driving the Trans Am around is sort of like hanging around with Andrew Dice Clay. It might be a lot of fun but sometimes you find yourself...

    Any Pontiac Fans here???

    While we weren’t looking, cars from other manufacturers spiked up like our 1972 and older cars did. I had a 76 Camaro that I sold for $3000 in 2003. Today, while it isn’t in the sweet spot of the musclecar era, would still bring four times that. I had an ‘84 Chevy 1/2 ton that truck guys are...
