Stop in for a cup of coffee

And let’s face it, tooling down the highway with a tunnel Ram is just plain cool! The grin factor cannot be measured. I am in process of trying to get a 383, I am undecided if it gets a roots style blower or a tunnel Ram. Of course then I will have to find a car to wrap around it! Hehehe
both.
 
All right all you wrenches, I need a solution. This morning it was well below zero and I got a full on diesel bath very first thing. And yes I understand how not to do it but my hands were not cooperating as we had been outside a bit to long. I fully understand moving South is best solution! My quandary is my clothes got soaked in Diesel and I mean a bath soaked, including my “free” Snap On coat. I have now washed my clothes and coat 4 times and it still reeks. Any ideas how to get rid of diesel odor?


Try putting some Lestoil in with your wash... My friend's mom used to do that to wash their jeans after they worked on cars with us... It breaks down oil and gas pretty good... I do that with my greasy wash also...

I know Ace Hardware and Lowe's carries it...

My wife Becky owned a Pinto when she was 16. She bought it off a lot in Trenton Michigan, took it to a car wash which blew the fenders off. Also had a seat go through the floor. Didn't stop her from driving that for quite awhile, she also had a Mustang. When I met her she owned an AMC Eagle.


I used to work in Trenton, MI.... :thumbsup:
 
Today show interviewed a old Navy man that was on the radar crew during Pearl Harbor. He wrote notes that he saw the blips. Radar was new then and was pretty much told to disregard. They were expecting some unarmed bombers from the mainland.


 
Good Morning!
I need some other opinions on an idea I have...
Holley 0-6210 650 CFM Quadrajet™ Style Spreadbore Carburetor
I kind of want to put a spreadbore on my 318 when I get the cam and stuff in there. would I be able to make an adapter to make it fit on a 1971 340 4bbl intake?
Also, is there any other benefits to this carb other than the classic spreadbore moan?


A 71 340 intake is a spreadbore... It should bolt straight on....

However I prefer the standard spreadbore, not the Quadrajet...

I've run the Holley 6711 650 double pumper on some 340's back in the day...


But 650 is kinda big for a 318, I prefer 600 cfm squarebore with electric choke for daily drivers...

This one runs great right out of the box with a little tuning and has an electric choke standard... Also cheaper than the standard 1850 600 vac secondary carb....

I wish I had that car now. Or 360 a span wagon...


We had it in storage at grandmas house after she died... When we took it back out of storage, we went to a gas station near here and filled it up... As dad was turning out of the gas station, it stumbled a little, so dad stabbed the gas and broke the tires loose...


Some young kids were walking to the station to buy some candy and when they saw us break the tires loose, their jaws dropped when they saw a station wagon spinning the tires.... :steering:
