I finally got my package from Mopartim75 yesterday. I received a piece of junk. I had specifically asked him to verify this is a good, working speedometer and his reply is posted below. Also, I thought I bought an instrument cluster as shown in the link below his name, address, etc.. He says...

Ok everyone, I just attempted to telephone Timothy ( 401-863-0436) in regards to this situation of ignoring my repeated attempts to recover my money or get my parts. I got his voice mail and left him a message. I told Tim that I had contacted the Postal Inspector this morning and he advised...

The following is presented for anyone who needs to know to avoid this guy. I have really been holding off but enough is enough. It's been about 6 weeks so I give up and agree......Mopartim75 is a thief. Timothy Quilty 2575 Post Road rear Warwick, R.I. 02886 Tel: 401-863-0436

Yeah, he got me also. I purchased an instrument cluster over a month ago and got the same story. At first he said the package was sent to the wrong address but it came back. Then the story about the accident. Also said the package would be re mailed and a tracking number supplied. I'm still...

Ditto. You are one great person. Have a wonderful day from someone who REALLY cares.

THE CAR IS SOLD. Thanks to everyone. I sold it locally to a little old lady about 60 years young. She just fell in love with it. I am very happy for her.

I have used my State Farm insurance company for over 12 years. They have a special classic vehicle rate program but it also comes with some limitations such as how many miles you can drive per year, how often, etc. VERY CHEAP RATES. I do NOT have a garage either. I had a Corvair Convertable...

This is one reason I would rather live on the Gulf of Mexico. We lived near Sault St Marie, Michigan (that's on the Canadian border) in the 70's. I was in the Air Force stationed at Kincheloe AFB. It was the year the Edmund Fitzgerald sank on one of the lakes (they wrote a song about it). I...

Thanks for the input guys. At least someone is reading and responding to my ad. Oh well, if it doesn't sell, I will just keep it along with my '55 Chevy and go cruizin in both. I am not going to give it away to make a sale. I might even fix the heater core although we don't need one here in...

This has me bewildered. I posted this ad several weeks ago. It's had only 163 views and NO replies. Swingers must not be in demand. Either I am asking too much or it has no retail value. I sold an '86 Monte Carlo LS (that's a V6 FI) last year for $7000.00 and people were almost fighting...

WOW. I wish my '55 Chevy looked like that. Never gonna happen. Where do these people get the money? I'm on a working man's budget. Translated...that means broke!. lol

If you have an automatic transmission, then your neutral safety switch is located on the trans. It does not matter if it's a column or floor shift because the shift linkage on the outside of the trans controls the switch. The switch has a dual function, i.e. it is a neutral safety and backup...

What happened to the '74 Swinger? Wow, they gave it away. That's why I would NEVER put a car in an auction with NO reserve. BTW the Plymouth Superbird brought $501,000. Not bad for a junk yard car that was an ordinary Plymouth Satelitte. The car was brought back from the dead and the...

This car is in very good condition. I wouldn't be afraid to drive it anywhere. I spent several months getting the kinks out of the front suspension with the help of a lot of people here at FABO. I have replaced the upper and lower control arm bushings and ball joints. I also added a front...

Hey Mike, I smoked for 43 years. Yeah, I started at 14 years old in junior high school. I even got caught smoking in my office after it was banned. I had a good government job and could have gotten fired for that. Anyway, I finally got my head right and just quit----cold turkey. I had tried...

What kind of spoof is this?

I LIKE THAT ANDREW!! I agree. It took me years to also start using 5w30 motor oil instead of all that 20w50 stuff or additives. We were led to believe that your engine had to have additives. I have been using 5w30 for years now and although I don't drag race I do own a Hemi that I put my...

You may have purchased a "bad" alternator or if external, have a bad voltage regulator. If you have a voltmeter, place it across the battery terminals and read the voltage BEFORE starting the engine. It should read 12.60 volts if at full charge or very close to it. If you can get another...

The ballast is designed to reduce the voltage supplied to the ignition coil. The car starts on 12 volts (bypass the ballast resister) but continues to run on about 8 volts (voltage goes thru the ballast). The coil will not operate on 12 volts. It will burn up. Why we did this back then I...

The electrical engineering on our American cars in the 70's and beyond wasn't that great. The Japanese and other countries were using relays back then to eliminate excessive current draw. It doesn't make sense to push 20 - 30 amps thru a #14/16 gauge wire (10 feet or more) that reaches from...

I had a similar problem with dim headlights and could not find any wiring/ground issues. I bypassed the amp gauge and it didn't help. I read an article on this forum about this problem and it suggested installing 2 relays to control the headlights (lights would dim at idle and the alternator...

Another vote from me. Merry Christmas

He is one of those famous "power sellers" on E-bay. I have a friend who does this also but he just jacks up the shipping to very unreasonable prices to get out of paying commission to e-bay (they only charge on the selling price of the items). I also found a totally rotted out '55 chevy frame...

Good luck Bob. I have a similar problem. Goes from 0 to 100 back to 0 like a windshield wiper.....so hard it bent the needle. It starts this at about 2-3 mph.......walking speed. I have no idea what happened but it isn't the cable. I am going to try another head and if it works, I'll let...

Where can you get one of those "speedy sleeves"? I think I need one also.

Customer Relations 101? I guess he missed that course.

I don't know what type of instrument cluster you are working on but I had to drop the steering column of allow room for my cluster to come out. Also, it is much harder to remove the cluster than install it. Why- I don't know. It becomes a pain in the @#$ and you can break it if not careful...

I don't know how authentic you want your car to be but mine had a B & M floor shifter installed when I purchased it. It looks sort of lonesome sitting there all by itself so, my son is going to make a floor console to house it and provide a storage box, cup holders, extra gauges, etc. I had...
