  1. From that thread you posted in in 2018. Seems like you should use the FSM?
  2. How are you guys running your wires through your amp from your PC/laptop? I finally bought a 12' HDMI cord from my flat screen to my laptop and it really blasts out now. I was running a RCA spliced into a headphone plug. That works okay but the HDMI is a big help. Goodnight to you all but not my neighbors.
  3. I listened to "My name is mud" a few hours ago! That's about killing somebody, "Where you goin' City Boy?" Never really paid attention to the lyrics.
  4. Slow down. You need to read up a lot more. You can remove a rocker with a big screwdriver leaving the valve and spring in place. Pry the spring retainer down with the screwdriver against the cam. Move the rocker off the lash pad, remove the mouse trap spring and the rocker is free. But like Zed Head says you can see the rocker pad by getting the lobe base just off the pad.
  5. I got 1 and 2 lobes like bunny ears then measured the valve lash on 1 and 2. When they were equal measurements that was TDC for me.
  6. Shade "woody shrub" way is push the handle of a big screwdriver down between the chain. It should be hard to push down all the way if the tensioner is right. Another way is buy a cheap bore scope that works with your smartphone and have a look.
  7. Build a tree house up in there and you'll have a vacation rental, Airbnb maybe? "SLEEP IN THE TREES WITH Zs"
  8. Measurements, a picture of the wheels would help in finding what you're after.
  9. I like the door trim turn up at the rear tire. That's what got that alligator.
  10. A garage. I parked my 280 outside for a few monthes with a cheap cover then a tarp then another cover. 3 huge bungee cords, front middle and rear. The bottom was still open to moisture so my rotors got flash rust and without covering the bottom with a tarp you can spend all you have on a cover but still not any good. Those air filled bouncy house looking garsges are what I'll do next if I have to but other than that a monthly storage building is best. They have temp controlled ones that would not have any moisture/humidity but there aren't cheap. Find a real estae agent with an empty house with a garage and pay them. Those real estate folks will do anything for money.
  11. Me too. It's my favorite house plant.
  12. I did my hood emblem with those. Quarter sides may be different? Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.
  13. I put mine on the emblem then pushed until they "clicked". Bought from local dealership.
  14. I was trying Captain and you saved me, a lot of explaining.
  15. I followed @Hardway write up on my emblems. Very helpful. There's also the flat clips I think 26th is talking about? You can buy those at Lowes in the Hillman drawers. Flat nuts I think they're called? https://www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-2-Count-1-4-in-Black-Phosphate-Standard-SAE-Flat-Spring-Nuts/3013190
  16. That looks like @jalexquijano car????
  17. And tonight will be Generator Blues.
  18. That one has bypassed the intake coolant flow too. I assume that was OE in '73? I know my early '72 had it. But not anymore!
  19. Looks like we may be wondering how @Patcon is now.
  20. @dmorales-bello
  21. I would put a threaded plug in that hole you see the block off plate through. Also the hole under the intake is the pcv valve. Does it have the valve? Those are 2 unmetered air openings you don't want.
  22. When I bought my 77 it would hardly run, bucking spitting and sputtering. I tried everything and then ran a mirror under the intake. There was a golf ball size hole rotted out where the egr tube connected to the intake. Under where your block off plate is. I deleted the egr system. The one vacuum line that was left after the thermal vacuum switch, TVS, I hooked to a nipple below the TPS box I think. Somewhere down there around the bcdd. Just a little story of my 77's problems. I've got the pictures on my laptop I can post when I can. You might find a recall sticker under the hood on the passenger's side if your's was fixed. Mine was not and that egr tube got loose and exhaust gas ate up my damn intake.
