Glad to make it over to the "new" board. Thanks to those who responded to others questioning how to do this. Made it easy for this guy to get over here.
Well, my daily driver Dodge Dynasty was stolen by a few of the home boys in the hood. The police recovered the car in "crack town" of Detroit and the insurance company decided yesterday to total the car. The good news is this means my not-on-the-road stang has to become my daily driver within the next week or so. This means getting my car stolen is good news - a win-win situation all around!
I have to pull off the early model style Edelbrock water pump (never been used) and get the correct 70 style since I gave up on fabricating accessory mounting brackets. I also have to replace the HotRod Air radiator/electric fan combo (also unused) and go back to the larger 70 style radiator. I ordered a Griffin alum. radiator, but it will take a month to arrive. In the meantime, I will reinstall the old original radiator.
The fuel lines are now installed, the oil cooler lines are connected, so all I have to do is put on the water pump, radiator, hoses, alternator, ps pump, and a/c stuff, plus the electrical and I can start the car. I guess I better put the windows in it before making it my daily driver cause it is cold and wet out here. haha. Now if I was Laurie S. in Arizona, I'd only need the front windshield, which would get the car on the road about 3 days earlier!!!
Well, cross your fingers, I'm going to dive into it.
sure it's fun, but it's only a car.
