Gotta love that back drop manifold.....

Sad to see it get scrapped. Wish I was 2000 miles closer.

Sounds good! Speaking of batteries in series, cut open a 9 volt battery and find all the little batteries inside making up the 9 volts.

Didn't someone steal a mixer in like the second Beverly Hills cop??

Another Steven Segal flick. DM chasing that ol Chevy pickup and he couldn't get away....lol. Fire Down Below.

I need to uncover it and look at it again. I know both are bottom mounted, but there is something different about their operation. I think one was reversible?

The old boxes have that shuttle pump also. I cleaned mine up in my Triplex. There was an eccentric in the front bearing retainer. It was fed oil from the cup cast in the passenger side of the main case, fed through a hole into input area and then down the main shaft to oil the gear bushings all the way into the compound. My 107 has two PTOs mounted on it. One is different then the other?

My sister has a white convert, 5.0 6 spd. She's a gear head.

Ya, those turbo Regals were quick for their day. The Grand National was top, then there were a few other variants(Regal T type) that weren't as flashy as a GN but same motor. That 3.8 was a weird one. The crank journals were all offset(rods didn't share a journal). Wondered how that thing stayed together with power they made. Mom had a 76 Century with 3.8 and it was a dead slug. Gutless beyond any belief. It would run 65 on the highway but if you leaned into it and it downshifted, it started slowing down and made a whole lot of fan noise. How they turned them around in 20 yrs. My 390 makes near 700 HP with 7# of boost. It will be a handful to drive if you don't pay attention.

With the crab cap you can still get the cap off with the blower on it. The spacer under the blower gives a bit of room. You can buy an offset distributor for $1k but this way works just fine.

Crack the whip Paul!!! 😆 I'm working on getting the motor back in my hot rod. Been a year and a half and trying to locate bolts and pieces that have been packed away. Plus all the changes I need to make to fuel system. It is taking way too long and my motivation is lacking. I have trans all hooked up, driveshaft,shifter. Now onto the new headers and hook exhaust up. Different headers so nothing will just bolt up. Then get blower stuck back on...... Radiator back in and maybe fire it up. Hijack!! Sorry, back to regularly scheduled program.....

A short wheelbase doesn't get much help with air ride. When I lengthened mine 5 ft, it really took the short, bucky ride out of it. With no trailer, mine still rides rough with no weight over the rear.

Lol....sorry, no Linda Vaughn around me.

She had air ride..... 😲

Ya, Google ads is taking half of my screen ?? Pita. Have to chase the "x" to close it up every time you change pages. What happened? I just get random shit, nothing special.
