my ignition box **** out on me so I am gonna have to get a new one. I freaked out when it happened too. I didn't know what it was but now after getting more level header and RustyRatRod's help, we got it pretty narrowed down to that
It happens. Stock box?.

My ignition box took a **** too. Right on the on ramp on my way to a show. Pissed me the hell off. Time for MSD pro billet.
replaced the tail shaft bushing in my dart, started out easy enough tell I started putting it back together and couldn't find the bolt that holds the tran. mount. You would never guess where I found it a hour later. the dam dog had it in his dog house.

I had to work yesterday :wack: and had to drive a couple hours away for the job. Coming home I got caught in some rain, not particularly heavy, but enough to puddle in the road.
It was the first time in the rain in the new company car, a 2012 Malibu. It was all over the road! I have never driven anything as bad as this car is. It is a nice car, but damn! I don't know if it is the tires or what. Every time I hit a puddle of water the *** end wanted to come around, or it wanted to pull to the side with deeper water.
I have plenty of wet weather driving experience. Trust me, this was the worst experience I've ever had!

an orange box HemiEd gave me a long time ago. I had an LX101 on it before and it worked good. I shouldn't of put that orange box on and just kept it as a spare because now I have no spare at all.
and Rusty knows his chit, he's a good guy and has taught me alot
yeah, its been pouring here for like a month straight. its gotten old very fast

It's been fairly busy in my garage yesterday. Replaced a leaky intake manifold gasket (rear rail seal leaked after swapping manifolds), welded up a couple cracks in my headers (so much for the ceramic coating near the collector), took the drag radials to be rotated (has to be dismounted and moved to the other wheel), and built some ducting to improve the efficiency of my cooling system.
Today, I'm spending some time with my guitar. It's raining outside anyway

Finished buttoning the 318 together last weekend. Pulled the heads off and had em milled, thanks to a leaking head gasket.
Just got the new gaskets in. Box looks like Mike Tyson bit it in half. Gasket card packages look nice and curled at the ends, like a skateboard. Thankfully, they aren't damaged or warped in any way.
I'm going to CC the heads soon and see if the .010" shaved is too much.
This weekend, I replaced an alternator in my girlfriend's sister's '77 Celica GT liftback. Ears were different. Now it needs a shorter belt...
Nothing finished this weekend. hahahaha

I installed new fuel lines & brake lines in my 68 Dart, & removed exhaust. Now need to order headers, pipes, fuel tank. I built a Electrolysis tank to de-rust my drums and rotors. Oh & shorten & rethread the adjustable brake pushrod I bought from Mancini. AARRRGH its always something.

Hey roger where did you get your brake lines from? I recently delt with a company and they weren't very helpful.
Inline Tube. I have 68 Dart w/ 74 Dart discs & 72 Coronet drums, changed from power to manual, & they were helpful. I thought I had it figured out, & they called back to confirm something & we ended up changing slightly. The fuel line was close but required a little fudging.
