2013 Mopar Nats Pictures
The owner of this Superbird is one of the nicest people you will ever meet! He came over and offered to help out when the power steering pump went out on my Aspen and took me over to a garage to have the pulley taken off of my old pump and pressing it on the new one. Oreilly's couldn't get a pump for a 1976 Aspen until Monday at 10:30 but could get one for a 1980 Aspen Friday morning at 8:30.(it was Thursday evening at about 8:00pm)Thinking there should be no difference but there was a slight difference.....the 76 pressure line was a compression fit and the 80 is an "o" ring fit sooooo I called O'reilly's and he couldn't get one for about 3 days but would search other sources. Meanwhile Hutch found one online at Auto Zone just about a block off of Brice Road. I called to make sure they did really have it and they did! (luck) Couldn't drive the Aspen so it was the Superbird to the rescue! While checking out I heard the 'bird owner asking one of the employees if they sold carburetors and he said only edelbrock so I told him Jegs was just a block down the street. He said no way! I said sure Columbus is their home town, so we went to Jegs and killed 2 birds with 1 stone....and by the way he is NOT going to restore the 'bird cause it has too much history! I told him it was the coolest Taxi I ever had the pleasure of riding in.
