I think it looks Great!

$25,500 For instance, Less fees. Not a chance IMHO. Sell it privately to someone that’s going to preserve it.

Where did you take the alternator to be tested? If you don’t have someone at a parts store that’s competent on testing you might want to go to a local Napa store or an establishment that has a machine shop. Counter people look at a screen and most don’t have experience on working on vehicles. My HO. Ok I vented. Wish luck friend.

The alternator test at the parts store?

By chance did you try a cleaner and spray able grease before you removed it. Trying to understand the process you went with.

Fortunate to find an early antenna with the bullet tip. The Nut wasn’t available. Any help will be much appreciated.

Looks like N42 to me. I might be incorrect

North South it’s still Carolina!!😂

Jet Hot coatings in SC.

Sounds like your fuel pump relay is bad. Send me a pm.

Did you have the headers Ceramic coated? I understand that’s not the issue at hand but will eliminate carb problems.

I’m personally done. If his mechanic is that good there’s really no reason to post on a topic thats well over 6 years old and pretty much has not accepted any one persons advivce nor reported back on the findings from suggestions that were given.

Bottom line that’s not the way the engine was designed unless he thinks you had a defective thermostat.

IMHO Pull the head.

Sounds like it worked out in your favor after all.
