Exactly. They won't issue building permits for people that buy, so it ends up going for back taxes again 3 years later, then the town buys it. So this is a more widespread scam/corruption than I thought. I learned of this through my realtor who warned me against buying in the county or town.

The town that I grew up in the 80's (West Frankfort) passed a city ordinance and policy that allows the town itself to buy properties for 3 years or more of back taxes and resell the property. The council passed this about a decade ago and of course the property taxes shot up to 2.39%(double the...

I grew up in Southern Illinois, West Frankfort in the eighties. I left the State After the downstate "Curley Effect" became increasingly prevalent and the severe economic downturn after of the 90's and 2000's. I joined the Army and traveled the world for over 2 Decades. I retired to Marion...

The coyote took them.

Update: the best course of action is to put this project on hold until there is a definitive direction of the U.S. economy due to the tariffs and tariff war with other countries. I seem to have lost access to true economic information and reputable sources have all pivoted online with the...

I had some sleep and now sipping coffee, I've never seen a fusable link go bad but have heard of no charge issues from them corroding. . the fusible link is connected to bulkhead connector 'J', which directly connects the alternator to the ammeter. The fusible link is usually positioned about...

GRA-750B ?

Have you checked for corrosion on/in the coil negative? Also bulk head connector. Ammeter is third guess and that's all I've got.

They are brighter and now easier to find on the shelf of parts stores. I had an amber incandescent 1157 go out over the road and 5 stores didn't have any incandescent bulbs or the low current flasher needed to but did have L.E.D's and resistors ..

If you replaced the original style bulbs with L.E.D. they won't blink unless you install a resistor at each L.E.D. or replace the flasher with a low current type.

Hard pass,$18k tops, numerous red flags. Typical flipper stuff, doors don't line up, uneven gaps in both doors and back bumper. Painted over rust, can't fix a vacuum leak to repair the brakes for $25k?. That bubbling probably means rust holes all of the way through the quarter panels and door...

They do have the cross T bars. The wheel base is 5 inches longer than an a body. The track is the same in the front. I was told that the disc brake spindles will fit a 70's a body without modification. I haven't confirmed it for myself yet.

Some earlier pre 85" 5th's had slant 6's-904-7 1/4's. This is an 86' 318-727 that has a factory 7 1/4.

He'd have to check the rear end, some of the 5th avenues had a 7 1/4 rear end as well but an added bonus is the front Disc components will swap right over to the Scamp. I haven't come across a 5th Ave for sale since I bought one 4 years ago but then again I haven't been searching for one.
