That is a good price!

I caught it but let it slide. You've done yeoman's work!

I think the carbs look great! The polished domes don't bother me one bit

I have dealt with motor man years ago on a suburban tbi. Nothing bad to say...

Yes, stick the probes to the terminals firmly with both hands

Always special to know somebody like that

Cool Interesting shop, wood heater with some sort of shelf, cranks, blasting cabinet etc.

Those are great pictures with the part numbers!

Is that your shop or someone else's?

Am I missing something or does it have no bids currently? Pretty nice car. Could really be finished well with out a ton of work

Galvanized plugs are pretty hard and won't seal as well as something softer like brass

or could a T shirt company silk screen them for you?

Excellent work!

@SteveJ

Good analogy!

Thanks guys

Thats always been my understanding but if it makes 12 volts, then I wouldn't think there would be any shorts

The upper left almost looks Ivory. Should work good. Pretty close to white...

So I bought a truck from the salvage auction a little while back. The batteries in it are of an unknown age. They were completely dead! So I tried to charge them. The automatic charge settings wouldn't do anything. So on a whim I tried the manual 2 Amp setting for a while. I have one back up over 12 volts. The other is still only about 6 volts. I noticed that it might read 12.6 when I take it off the charger but then settles some over time. Like to maybe 12.2 V. Is that normal for them to settle at a lower voltage? What is the likelihood that if I get them up to 12.6 volts that they will actually be good for anything?

Nope. You can look at other cars to see what vin numbers have what number engines but that will only get you close. You still won't be able to definitively determine if you have the original engine

What are we looking at in these pictures? What is the yellow stuff?

I agree with the others. I would keep it as close to original as possible. It will also, most likely, retain the most value that way too. You might be able to do much of the maintenance yourself as most dealers don't have anyone old enough to be experts on these older cars. If I thought the car would make the trip, I would drive it. Mind you, I would wait until after the salt is gone

Is that yours now Jerry?
