Great find!!

I am going to start looking for some!!!

THANX!!

Tom

Thanx guys!! I appreciate the good wishes and the "poopy advice" (LOL) The problem is that we did not discover the droppings until they were all nice and dried. The best thing that I have found thus far is to soak a paper towel in water and lay it on the spot until the poop softens. I then...

Good to be back with you guys!! Has been a pretty tough year. Diagnosed with "Arthritic Spine". Had five surgeries on my back. Finally ended up with an implanted "Spinal Stimulator" to block the pain signals. Talk about a God-sent!!! :multi: Then had to have cataract surgery and ...

Man, I sure hope that you have better luck than I did with mine! I took it back to the radiator shop and had it "repaired" three (3) different times. I even tried to fix it myself with JB Weld. Not only did it LOOK awful; the @$%#&* thing STILL leaked!! :x :x Ended up buying a new one....

Mike,

Looks like you made it back home okay!

Hope it wasn't too much trouble unloading without me there to help (LOL).

GOOD LUCK!!

Tom

David, My issue is since the previous owner was cutting and splicing i am lost and out of luck . Therein lies one of the pure joys of our obsession!! :oops: I learned long ago that in a case like this that the best (and certainly least frustrating) approach is to just forget trying to figure out wha...

Steve, Rest assured that something good will come out of your experience!! As a matter-of-fact it already has!! I was out in the garage late last night puttzing around with the new fuel level sender unit that I am installing in my '63 HT's fuel tank. I say "puttzing around" because I have ...

Steve, I know that I have joked and kidded you about this throughout your previous thread, but buddy I just want you to know that I (and I am sure all of the rest of the forum) feel your pain!! Sounds like this guy is a real POS!! :sad: :sad: Sounds like you have a plan for the path forward. Just be...

Sounds SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!

Git'er on the road!!!!

Graeme,

Very cool Tom - did you run it like that without mufflers?

No, I had some Magnaflow Turbos that I slipped on.

I also removed the "Cool Whip" container for the run-in.

Steve, Below are pictures of the FPA headers prior to installation. ./image-archive/i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt141/texastomeh/MVC-011S.jpg ./image-archive/i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt141/texastomeh/MVC-017S.jpg This is a picture of my 390 (with FPA headers installed) on the test/run-in stand. ....

Steve,

I used the FPA Ceramic Coated.

At the time (couple of years ago), FPA was the only one building headers for our 'Birds.

Pricey (~ $800), but well worth it in my opinion.

Tom

X2 on the FPA Ceramic Coated Headers!!!.Quality all the way!!

Installed them on my '63's 390 after engine rebuild. Look and sound GREAT!!

Went with flex (plus modifications) tranny dip stick. Tiiiiiiight fit, but can be done.

GOOD LUCK!!

Tom

Paul, You said it a lot more eloquently than I could!! I had originally drafted a post recommending that Steve tell the guy where to kiss and to go do something to himself that is normally enjoyed by two consenting adults!! :oops: :oops: Believing that discretion is the better part of valor and reco...

Can I help too?? (why don't you guys do a Garage Squad on my car?) NOW we are getting somewhere!! That's the way we did it in the "old days" (sigh). Back then none of us could afford to take it to a "Shop" or a "Mechanic" ! Now, we don't have to!! :multi: :multi: Some ...
