I do think age helps. 17 of 19. I also missed the Stude 289 because of the expansion tank. I also go tripped up on the 1st GM Tri-power question.3 of 19 I was thinking of the Olds J2 setup. I was kind expecting to see a flat head ford with a set of Ardun heads to show up. That would...

I just saw pictures of a fabo members installation of these US Tool connectors on line yesterday. Looks very nice as they are CNC cut to match the floor plan profile and are designed to me welded in along their full length. Should be stiff as hell. The install is on a '69 Valiant post car...

67Dart273, You are correct there have been a lot of changes to USN ratings. I was under contract for 40years. From 2/1/68 until my retirement with pay in Feb. 2008. My rating was changed from FTG (Gun Fire Control Tech.) to FC (Fire Control Man). I believe this took place in '87 or '88...

Well there still seems to be an audience so I will conclude my story. We, my wife and I were now in Long Beach, CA. I do not remember where we spent the night. Our first order of business was to find someplace to live. I of course had a rack shipboard but we need to find...

65dartcharger, Thank you. I must say that you are the reason I started this narrative, the mystery engine tag. I will get to that part of my story sometime today. I am in awe of your build. I must admit that I was unaware of the existence of the 1965 Dart Chargers as a model. I believe...

67valiant 100, I have a soft spot in my heart for Valiant 2 dr.post cars. I actually tried to order one new in January 1969. If it ever own another A body it will be a 1969 2 dr. post. My twin brother and I also had a 1964 Valiant with the same drive train as your '65 Cuda. I can tell you...

67DartGT340, That is a beautiful car, I took a look at your photo gallery, another uncommon color.

Russ, I'm glad i could provide the links featuring the Hoel for your viewing pleasure. I participated in the decommissioning of the Blue, Jan 27, 1971. She was towed to San Diego and finally sunk, as a target in 1977. Have you gone to any of the Hoel reunions? Since I retired from the...

968FormulaS340, I remember the O'Brien well. DD725 was also homeported in Long Beach, CA while I was on the Blue. They had a four leaf clover painted on their funnel and the ship had an Irish Setter for a mascot. The dog had six foot square sand box on the fantail and the Quarterdeck...

Well there are a few people out there who are interested so I will continue my tale. By the time we got the car back I’d been home a week. We were planning on heading out about ten days later. I had a lot to do my older brother was fabricating a Class II hitch for the Duster and I had to...

Russ, No problem, dialogue is dialogue. Actually I am writing in such detail to encourage response. Now to your question. I was on the USS Blue DD744, Desron 9 homeported in Long Beach. I remember the Hoel saw her many times. I was a FTG3, (Gun Fire Control Tech. for those of you who may...

Hello All, Some of you may have seen a reference to my intention to write this narrative on 65dodgedarts Member Restorations thread. I gave a brief explanation there and stated that I would write a longer missive for those of you who might be interested. I was in the USN from 1968 through...

65dartcharger & 340 dart power in reference to your threads #'s 46, 49 & #'s 88, 90 respectively. As the the original purchaser of a 1970 Duster 340 in March of 1970 I can add some detail to the conjecture about the mystery tag. Briefly I had a problem with my 340 right out of the box. It...
