You guys may remember the post I made last December when my wife had the brain tumor removed...
The cancer came back & spread everywhere.
She passed away yesterday at home...
Lift me a little here, guys & gals...
RIP Linda Garbutt
My wife has been having a lot of issues over the last few months & has been seeing her primary Dr.
Vertigo, anxiety, depression, headaches, forgetfulness... The final straw that sent us to the ER was hallucinations.
We have been in the Cleveland Clinic since Tuesday and surgery is scheduled for...
This can apply anywhere on the vehicle like fenders, but I am working on my engine. A few bolts were painted and chipped upon assembly. I know its easiest & proper to paint everything after assembled but sometimes things have to come apart again...
Curious what kind of secrets do you guys use to...
I am getting ready to assemble my 78 440 & noticed my heads have different spark plug seats. 1 has a tapered seat and one is flat, assuming 1 was changed at some point. They're both 452 heads. Can I get plugs to use on either or do they have to be side specific? Choices & advice appreciated.
Thanks.
I'm putting things together with my wiring in my 71' Satellite. It was originally a 318/904 now 440/727. I have several alternators to choose from in my stash & may get a new one even, but not sure which VR I need. It is converted to MP electronic Ignition if that matters. There are lotsa...
Came from a 73 RR. I had it in a pile of sheetmetal from my 71 project. Its got some surface rust but its fairly solid. I'm taking things to the scrap yard before the snow comes so if somebody wants this pan & can come pick it up its yours. I have the speeker/deck panel as well if you want it.
I...
Is there any way we can add the date the thread was created to the title? I'm on a mobile, so it may be there for PC/mac users, but all I see is the date & time of the last post. Some threads I click on are many years old...
Perhaps there is a way to re-oganize or filter threads by date created?
I'm getting ready to clean up & re-seal the heads for my 440 and started scraping the VC gasket off. When I went to flip the head upside down to get the scapings outa the inside, this funny shaped dowl thing fell out. Looks like a restrictor for an orifice. Does it belong somewhere? No idea...
I picked up a running 19k mile 76' 440 out of an RV for next to nothing. I have several others, one of which is being built by a shop currently. I wanted to re-gasket this engine & put a proper pickup & pan on it as well as some other bolt-ons & paint & put it in the corner for a future project...
That is what my builder called for. Is it a good break in oil?
It threw me off guard, as I was planning on grabbing some Driven break-in...
Thaughts anyone?
Here goes...
A friends neighbor was cleaning up some property he inherited from his recently deceased parents and over the coarse of gathering up large items to scrap he cut up 3 motorhomes that were used for storage.
One had dodge running gear, and they were able to fire it up and drive it up...
Hope this doesn't stir up any negativity...
Just would like to ask for prayers or positive vibes.
A very close friends wife got diagnosed with breast cancer last Friday. She goes into the Dr's on Monday to discuss options. I'm not a "ask for help" guy, but.... Not good with this kinda thing but...
Spring cleaning my unfinished basement & started pulling things down from the hiding spots between the rafters. Found this box of old tubes. Some new some used. Reciepts from as early as 58'.
I've lived here 14 yrs & never checked deep in those spots. Thaught I'd share cuz I thaught it was kinda...
Hi guys. Im getting ready to weld in my outer wheelhouse and everything lines up except for the trunk extension. This section was heavily rotted & the TE is all welded in. It really cant be minipulated without breaking out my torches. I have nothing to go by so was wondering if someone can...
I yanked the air grabber bulge the other day to blast the hood and after getting everything disassembled, it looks as though it has all but 2 of the studs previously repaired. Was every mount between the bulge & hood a coarse stud into the bulge with a 1/4-20 thread for the nut on the underside...
Hi guys. I am replacing the quarters on my 71 & cut the majority of the panel off today. I noticed this strip of what I assume to be seam sealer or some kind of rubber epoxy in a groove in the understructure of the sail panel. I dont think the quarter panel was tight against it here. I am...
Getting ready to mock up my 440/727 into my 71. Engine & trans will be bolted to the K & I'm curious if there's room enough to bolt on my headers before sliding the assembly under the car & lowering the body down. I've measured the best I can and cant see why it wouldn't work but its really hard...
I removed the braces from a 71 Satellite to replace one on a 73 RR. This was leftover. Mite fit 74, I'm not sure. Its original & has the part# stamp. It is there but I can barely make it out as this was blasted, Ospho'd, & brushed w/2 coats of Summit chassis shield. I dont need it but someone...
