Not a Mopar, but...
So then did you see the triple chrome plated panel for $1,300 on ebay?
We looked for another one because of some pitting, but a lot of them looked like they originally had dimples.
Where the paint was still there you could see them under the paint.
Del, I generally don’t show what I do, but I’m trying to get over that.
Since starting my YouTube channel I kind of have to. :D
To me it still feels like boasting and that’s not a trait I care for in others either, but...
I do want to tell you a quick story about what happened with Mikes freshly assembled big block Dart though.
On the cam break in there were five of us there and the motor started, but ran like crap and would not rev to the break in RPM.
You could open the throttle with zero change in RPM, and it rich smoked really bad and then would die.
I built and donated the Edelbrock 750 that was on it, and everyone blamed that for the startup fail, but I was confident in it but decided we should swap it out only to have the motor run the same (barely ran)
Then I noticed splices in the distributor pickup coil wires.
Yep, he didn’t know polarity mattered.
Put the carb I built back on and it fired right off and ran perfectly for the break in.
I explained to them that opening the throttle and it making zero difference was because the advance weights were making the problem worse as they tried to advance with increased RPM and causing the rotor phasing to be even farther off.
They looked at me like I was nuts saying it wouldn’t run at all if the polarity was reversed.
He had the ONE guy there that knew what the problem was because of all the hei kits I built.
Everyone was shocked that I figured it out and fixed it, saying they would have never figured that out.
There I boasted a little.:D
Now I just have to be careful not to overcompensate on it.
