    Rebuilding ThermoQuads: Who has some helpful tips and advice?

    When I started TQ I got all the books, service manuals etc etc and studied like crazy. Though now I would like to have a book named "How to restore a Thermoquad that is 50 years old". A 50 years old Carter Afb/Avs or Holley is easy, but... Digging into a 50 years old TQ means that you will...

    who else had a big hood scoop on their car in the '70s-80

    I only ever had scoops on two of my cars.... from the '80's..... and from the '90's ....... until not that long ago........ Licence plates were the same on both - owned them since 1987. :)

    Pricks!

    I have not installed an aftermarket radio in years. The main reason is called CAN networks. all the modules in your car talk to each other over this network, has to do with diagnostics and modules exchanging information. Every module in your car including the radio is a node on the network...

    Pricks!

    A very well put together response. :thumbsup: I know on occasions I have clients ask if they woke me up or was I out running..... sometimes they are quite correct. I have trained one client to text me early in the morning and I will call back - he starts at 5:30am, and if there's a...

    Pricks!

    Me and a friend were talking about a local scrap/salvage guy, my friend found him difficult, and I found him reasonable, but you need to prove your reasons, my friend said "a broken clock is still right twice a day" On the flip side of that, the friendliest, most "professional" person might get...

    who else had a big hood scoop on their car in the '70s-80

    My 85 GT had that same scoop, didn’t come with it but I found one at the JY and put it on. This was in the late 90s tho. Last summer I started mounting one on my 77 Corvette, then bought the Coronet and the poor vette sits with a halfass scoop install since then.

    Anyone used a Dakota Digital RTX-68D-STD-X in a 66 Coronet?

    With that said, I emailed Dakota Digital awhile back and asked about a dash for a '67 Satellite/GTX, which they didn't show anything for on their website, and they emailed me back with a photo and said they have done a few of these now. I'd email them and ask if they have done any of yours yet.

    Coker reds

    Welcome from Alabama. Cokers bias ply redlines are not worth a crap either. I sent 2 sets of 4 back for balancing issues.

    Pics from Back in the Day

    I haven't seen that statistic. It was 6.4% in 2020, then two years into covid it climbed to 9.9%. I haven't seen anything more recent listed.

    Legal issue with VIN on a B-J car today?

    The only reson to pull ident numbers is there's something nefarious with the car's vins and supporting docs. Suprised they didn't impound the car. The only thing I can think of is the rad support vin is true to the car. Which is questionable due to it's being wrecked.

    This target thrower looks like fun

    Love to shoot me some skeet. Haven't shot for a loooong time though. My g-friend won a Marlboro trip a few years back and I got to shoot an over-under Benelli. Oh mama what a beautiful, precision firearm. Stupid right-hand eject though. lol

    turn signal switch

    Because I had an arrangement with a supplier who supplied these switches to Chrysler. That is no longer the case, unfortunately. I'm out of the good turn signal switches and it looks as though I probably won't be able to get more, and I refuse to handle the Chinese junk that's already all over...

    1970 Plymouth Sport Satellite from Junk to......

    Adding strengthen support to prevent flex and spreading that causes slop in the LCA. Also added the sway bar support brackets. Pleased with the welding but had some gas and penetration issues with the bracket welds so I reinforced those welds as I wanted them to be rock solid. PST 1-1/8”...

    Rebuilding ThermoQuads: Who has some helpful tips and advice?

    Two screws are kinda hidden, don’t try to force the body apart thinking you’ve got them all out. An old timer mechanic gave me an air door lock ring tool that slips over your screw driver. Neat, but not necessary. He said he hadn’t used it in 20 years and I was tinkering with mine so he liked...

    Bench seat too close to wheel

    :lol: Im a rather large and roundly-shaped individual (read: 6'-depending on the 7-11 + a gut) and moving the bench back in the Newport helped greatly.
