A good one. And you can't even here the Beatles.

Would calipers not work?

Well in the time remaining, I may have to pick and choose what loose ends I leave drag. Hope your Dad would approve!!

My Dad would be amazed at what you do. Similar in getting things done no matter what.

After talking with me he always ended with "no excuses"

My Dad would tell you after all the hard work you've done now it's time to "skin 'er back and let the loose ends drag". His way of saying you're ready for this.🍻

You care to open it up to suggestions? I thought not but...

1st is t/c rod bushings, snug and some rubber in there?

Can you lock/unlock the car with the keys you have? I have to climb through the rear hatch on the '77 but can't even lock up the '72.

I'm sorry Zed Head I can't allow you to disparage me.

You're FIRED! 🤯

Wow! That's cool how you can do that.

I need to do one on how to lower my blood pressure.😁

Ai is going like wildfire presently. I sure hope it ends up being positive to our lives but I'm a skeptical.

Looks like the mice get to keep their home. No bids.

Image search shows a couple of social media post pushing the ebay sale. This add was included in one. I've seen it before but it's still funny to me.

Silodrome

Could be a body shop guy but he looks like a long time owner, he'ssmiling. The no color photos added to his mention of patina would be an added PITA in my opinion for selling. Everyone is going to ask for better pics.

Here's a '76 for $50K. I've never seen black and white photos in a For Sale add before.

Unless you have rebuilt the wiper motor and all of that, you should throw a bottle of Rain-X in the glove box just in case. If you go fast enough it works when the wipers don't. I kept a bottle in my Hardbody Nissan when I was driving back and forth to Destin after hurricane Opal.

What a cool song! I like this better than Howlin' Wolf's OG version. Kind of sad after watching Wolf's documentary. His mother hated him for singing "the devil's music".

Beat you @Zed Head hahaha!

Does it not catch onto the threads, one side of the notch isn't turned up a little? I don't understand any other reason for it.

Notch against plug according to these guys.

I've always heard the flattest side goes against the pan. I've never used that specific washer though so maybe someone can add better information.

BTW, yesterday i could not react or make a new topic, maybe some russians in the lines... :-o

I was trying to figure out was happening and went to the "home" page, saw this work of art...

@MH77280Z has done this on a 280 if I remember correctly. May be of some help to you.

After seeing what you did to your older garage, I'm a little claustrophobic and it made me cringe, I am so happy for you and your new space. 🙂

And be sure it's a high pressure pump for EFI. The fuel line going into the fuel filter should be as hard a rock with pump on.

Also the hose coming out of the filter will be hard from pressure. The fuel pressure regulator is what brings it down a little, 32psi IIRC.

You can get the metal fuel filter for $10 to $20.

Good luck!

My Dad raised a gearhead and I didn't even know it.

Started out as the keeper of the light shining "right here damnit" then tool chaser, he'd get flustered and throw wrenches. He hardly ever used sockets.

When you click on Zed Head's link to atlanticz find TPS Adjustment and see if any of that sounds familiar. There easy to fix once you where the vanes are supposed to be.

Oh yeah. Those AFM black covers get popped off and on all the time. I can't remember the times I've read on here of people screwing with the wheel and wishing they hadn't. Look for those factory silicone blobs.

Good looking car! Love the color, put some orange on there and you've got a mini-917.

I bought an all metal rechargeable from Lowes. It fits perfect (barely) in the tool bin behind the passenger's seat. I think this is it? But I don't remember the black handles. Mine are aluminum color.
