FYI Sears has a gun that develops just over 600 ftlb. My Corvair had a heating problem, in about 2 blocks the water temp was pegged. Inspection showed no bubbles in the radiator. I had to get a kit to test for exhaust gasses in radiator, it is a realy good idea if this used to lower the water level a bit. The fluid finally turned yellow the second time around. There was an almost imperceptible track between two cyls. New gaskets and a BIG radiator and it was my dd for 2 years with no further problems.

Given the miles while you are under the hood you might want to throw a timing chain on it and never put back an old water pump.

You need to use http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/ This site seems much faster no time to play solitare.

Yes. I generaly play a game of Solitare waiting for loads.

That sounds like it was worth the trouble/cost.

Sometimes the balast is a resistor wire.

Another solution is a steering quickner available in 1,5:1 and 2:1. This is a case for using joints that are way over the needed specs, this is not an area to save weight on.

Now that there are a few miles on the car do you think the Lizard skin helped with temps?

Do you use the handbrake when sitting at a stop light?

When I lived in San Francisco I had a 1.3L Alfa which didn't like the hills at slow speeds let alone being dumb enough to stop on one. The 7 L Dodge disn't care either way. -
Probably wouldn't take FTOD at autox but shure looks like fun.

Got out of hospital Mon late. I had one stent installed just after the attack which is the 4th in 12 years. Doing well but have to have another stent within a couple of months. Thanks for the kind wishes. Jim -

Rob Did you strip the paint on the fenders and other fiberglass? When stripping Mazda's fenders I found the rears had a HEAVY coat of what almost appeard to be clay, when it was all off the fenders semed to be about a third lighter there was no jell coat on rears. I will fix with light coat of jell coat then sand.

Being frugal/cheap I would look to see if I gould braze a sleve over the broken piece which could be then brazed to the cable.
